  • Description: "With the name of the Lord I should begin. And with his name I should finish. That I may compose them evenly with good things exultingly." Much of the Mashairi poetry, they say, is religious in nature. The African authors demonstrate the extent to which Arab culture has penetrated along the old trade routes. The speaker was fluent in Arabic and his Swahili appears to be more 'classical' than usual. Mashairi sung poems

  • Description: "If you neglect small things, you will also neglect the larger." The poets who compose and recite Mashairi are very conscious of their high purpose. It is interesting to see the African mind unfolding in this Arab art form, and using the poem for moral teaching. Mashairi sung poems

  • Description: The leader is well knon in Tabora as a cafe entertainer particularly for his humorous interjections - he starts by introducing himself by name. The record was made in a small room which serves as a club and opens out directly onto the street. The small xylophone was said to have come from the other side of Lake Tanganyika in the Congo from the Manyema people. Many members of Congo tribes have migrated into Tanganyika across the lake on account of the trade by the railway to coast used first by the Arabs and later by the railway to Dar-es-Salaam. The sons of these men who still claim to be tribesmen of the Congo were born in Tanganyika and speak and sing only in Swahili. The style is not local and perhaps originates in the Albertville region of Southern Congo. The tone of voice of these cafe singers is typical of those whose major payment is in kind, whic after a while blurs the edge of their voices and their performances. Humorous song, with Malimba xylophone x 8 and Basket rattle.
