DESCRIPTION

TRACK LIST

Zanzibar, the spice Island, is a where Africa meets the Arab world and this is reflected in the string-laden music called Taarab.
In the 50s, gentlemen’s clubs like Nada Ikhwani Safaa developed the large scale orchestral Taarab, an elegant, poetic music that epitomised Swahili culture and confirmed it’s centre as Zanzibar.
Mohamed Ilyas was a major force in Nada Ikhwani Safaa and still is in the musical culture of the Island.
