Zanzibar Star Modern Taarab Mp3 Download !FULL!

Established in Dar es Salaam during December 2006, Jahazi Modern Taarab group is currently the leading taarab group in Tanzania with more fans than any other. Their success story can be attributed to Mzee Yusuf the manager and owner who is also one of the pioneer musicians of the modern taarab style. Mzee teams up with his sister Khadija Yusuf another very popular taarab singer in Tanzania. Both artists built their reputations and international fame with Zanzibar Stars Modern Taarab.

Over the next several decades, bands and musicians like Bi Kidude, Mzee Yusuph, Culture Musical Club and Al-Watan Musical Club kept taarab at the forefront of the Tanzanian scene, and made inroads across the world. Playing in a similar style, Kidumbak ensembles grew popular, at least among the poor of Zanzibar, featuring two small drums, bass, violins and dancers using claves and maracas. The 1960s saw a group called the Black Star Musical Club from Tanga modernize the genre, and brought it to audiences far afield, especially Burundi and Kenya. More recently, modern taarab bands like East African Melody have emerged, as have related backbiting songs for women, called mipasho.[9]

Another singer, Khadija Baramia, says during her active days she could not bring herself to sing lyrics that insult or demean women. She regrets that women singers all too often insult one another in modern taarab.

Kopa, who started her career in 1990 with Culture Musical Club (Nadi Ikhwan Safaa) of Zanzibar, feels that taarab is growing and changing, moving away from Arabic traditions and adopting traditional Tanzanian drums like kidumbak and lizombe.

Instead of using about 10 people to play various drums like ngoma, cherewa, mdundo, one person using a rhythm box can replace them and go on to produce better quality sound. And with a minimal number of players. The Double Bass has replaced the Bass guitar in modern taarab.

While some popular modern taarab artists include Rukia Ramadhani, Fatma Issa, Rukia Ramadhani, Mwanahawa Ally, Khadija Yusuf, Mwanaidi Shaabani, Zuhura Shaaban, Hajj Mohammed, Mzee Yusuf, and Omar Kopa, among the leading modern taarab orchestras are East African Melody, Zanzibar Stars, and TOT on Tanzania mainland and JKU and Magereza in Zanzibar. JKT of Dar mixes classical with modern taarab.

Modern taarab, predicts Mzee Yusuf, will continue growing to the level of becoming national music. Unlike bongo flava (modern music performed in Kiswahili by younger musicians of Dar) that is foreign, he says, taarab is our own, having sprang up here. 006ab0faaa
