This book was very good. I learned alot about Tanzania's music history and culture but also about the way the music fits into and is made palleable by party politics and policy agendas. The CD was great as well, the varied singing styles were a good addition as were the interpretations of the lyrics. This book has helped to make me a fan of Tanzanian Taarab music. I also liked the fact that the author actually experienced some of what the other performers were feeling by becoming a member of one of the groups and singing with them. Good book overall, very descriptive.
