Mohammed Issa Matona the co-founder of Zanzibar's Dhow Countries Music Academy, a school dedicated to preserving the island's traditional music styles. Preserving the traditional most moving Zanzibari music Taarab.
He says
This music is something that reminds you of a lot of things. To know yourself, where you are coming from, which way you need to behave. For us music is not only for the joy, it is for education, social matters and politics
I'm gonna be honest, I dont like Taarab thaaat much, I only listen to it when I have to but it was interesting to see a man who was so dedicated to preserving Zanzibari's cultural music theme.
