The Rough Guide To The Music of Tanzania - Various
[RGNET1158CD]
Good collection this with some of the picks being, X Plastaz and 'Dunia Dudumizi', 'Omukaile Karoli' a gentle, simply arranged song from Saida Karoli, that has an almost childlike innocence to it. There's a track from Zanzibar 's oldest orchestra - the Ikhwani Safaa Musical Club and 'Vingaravyo' with the voice and thoughts of youth are delivered by Dataz and a catchy hit about girls dating married men. The new music capital of East Africa sounding good. Graham Radley
