Tanzanian hip hop
Tanzanian Hip-hop, also known as Bongo Flava, encompasses a large variety of different sounds, but it is particularly known for heavy synth riffs and an incorporation of Tanzanian pop. There is some debate over whether Bongo Flava, which has emerged as a defined pop movement, can really still be qualified under the overarching term "hip hop" and not a movement unto itself,〔Thomas, A, "X Plastaz & Bongo Flava: Tanzanian hip hop released internationally", (), africanhiphop.com〕 when it is beginning to develop a distinctive sound that differs from hardcore rap or, for example, the Maasai Hip-hop of X Plastaz, who use the tradition of the Maasai tribe as the focal point for their sound and style.〔(Martin, Lydia. "Bongo Flava: Swahili Rap from Tanzania." afropop.org )〕
A form of Tanzanian hip hop is Bongo Flava. Bongo flava, derived from the Swahili word "ubongo" (meaning brains), incorporates hip hop, Indian filmi, taraab, muzik wa dansi, and dancehall beats.〔(Bongo Flava:: Tanzanian Hiphop Fusion Online:: Swahili Music )〕 It all began in the 1980s when Tanzanian teenagers were really interested in the American hip hop scene. At first, they took American beats and rapped to them. As the youth rapped, the hip hop in Tanzania began to develop into a mix of traditional and localized hip hop scene. As a result, it began a wave of interest from other people in Eastern Africa.〔Mueller, Gavin. "Bongoflava: The Primer." Stylus Magazine, 12 May 2005〕
==Bongo Flava==
The name Bongo Flava comes from the Swahili word for brains (connoting smarts or intelligence), which is ubongo.〔(Out|here records - bongoflava - African hiphop label, African rap label, African reggae label, African ragga label, African dancehall label )〕 Bongo is the slang nickname for Dar es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania, and the former capital. The streets of Dar es Salaam is where Tanzanian hip-hop was born, thus the name of the genre literally translates to 'the flava from Dar es Salaam'.〔(Bongoflava: The Primer - Pop Playground - Stylus Magazine )〕
