tanga



Taarab comes from the East African coast. It's a heady combination of local and not-so-local (Arabic, Indian) influences, and first caught my ear via a recording issued by the Original Music label. Here are two cuts from that LP.

Juma Bhalo - Kem Kem







Yaseen Mohammed & Saada - Lala Mpenzi
