Preserving the Music of Tanzania
Description
In Dar es Salaam, one of the hubs of East Africa’s music scene, you’ll find a blend of Tanzania’s rich musical heritage that reflects more than 120 ethnic groups, as well as its experimentations with modern genres, like Bonga Flava, the country’s unique take on hip hop music. However, Tanzania’s ancient musical styles are facing the threat of dying out, as musical traditions aren’t handed down to the next generation. To address this challenge, a number of musicians and archivists are teaming up to help preserve Tanzania’s musical identity. They hope to ensure that future generations can enjoy the sounds from instruments like the eight-string litungu, just one of more than 50 traditional instruments that can be used in performances known as “ngoma” in Swahili.
