Contact UsLike this page?Africa, there is also so much fantastic music coming out of Tanzania and Kenya.Living in the ghetto recording a single, let alone a full album, is simply beyond their means.This starts with the plaintively sung intro (in English): "I was born in the street.In the valley of Mathare."Mathare is the name of one of the slums in the Eastlands).Swahili speakers like myself, the booklet has the Swahili lyrics together with an English explanation.And this is where the reality of the slums hits you: here are songs about political corruption, AIDS, gun crime, poverty, abortions, rapes and death.As one of the collective states: "There are a lot of talents in the neglected slums.We hope this will also inspire ghetto youths who are currently into crimes and drugs as, through us, they will see there is a possible bright future ahead and they will have some role models, someone to look up to for inspiration.Through the project we also hope other talented youths will have a chance to record music, without having to get money at gun point that they need to produce tracks."The album was produced by Daan van West and Stije Hallema from the Netherlands, with involvement by some of the Kenyans, most notably Robert Matumbai (of famous Kenyan act Kalamashaka).These are the most popular artists in their country and there are many highlights including 'Umoja wa Tanzania' (Juma Nature feat.Muny), 'Asali wa Moyo' (Gangwe Mobb), 'Wife' (Daz Baba feat.Mangwair) and 'Maji ya shingo RMX' (Daz Nundaz).And X Plastaz are definitely not your average group.Global Hip Hop' and 'Rough Guide to African Rap'), they now release their first international album, entitled 'Maasai Hip Hop' which has been recorded in Tanzania and the Netherlands.Later, to complete the group, the two children, Dineh and Steve, joined.Plastaz are proud of Tanzanian traditional culture and want to encourage a generally disinterested Tanzanian youth to embrace it more.Plastaz who mix traditional Maasai a cappella chants and rap in Swahili and Haya want to change this perception.Sugu is regarded as one of the true pioneers of the bongo flava scene having been active for a good decade.An interlude comes courtesy of Kenyan superstar DJ Pinye, a definite seal of approval.Lyrically, Sugu isn't afraid to tell it like it is and his songs deal with prostitution, street children, emigration and so on.Another stand out track is the opener 'Kwenye Mbio' with its jazzy influences.Tanzania Hip Hop Summit to be held in Dar es Salaam in December.For more info and to reserve your tickets visit www.Jamhuri Day (11 December 2004) at Stratford Rex celebrating Kenya's 41 years of independence.With DJs including Kenya's superstar DJ Pinye, BBC 1Xtra's Seani B and many more top Kenyan DJs.Club Afrique in Canning Town plays a variety of African music, including East African, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.The predominantly Kenyan nights are Fridays and Saturdays, and many popular Kenyan artists have performed there too (in 2004 they've had GidiGidi MajiMaji, Necessary Noize, Nonini, Dully Sykes, The Homeboyz, etc.African sounds on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday.Kuku choma, Matumbo, Sukuma wiki, Kienyenji, traditional Kenyan soup, along with Tilapia fish, Nyama Choma and Fry.For those who don't know, the Koras are kind of the African Grammies, a huge spectacle to be held on 12 December 2004 in South Africa and to be viewed by a TV audience of about 700 million throughout Africa and the rest of the world.Keep your fingers crossed for us!Kwaheri ('goodbye' in Swahili) and until next time.Any personal information submitted in relation to any comments, queries, feedback or submission to our newsletter is confidential and will only used by the BBC and its service providers strictly for processing your comments and providing our newsletter in accordance with the privacy restrictions set out in the BBC's Privacy Policy.
