  • Description: The Arab influence is still strong up country particularly along the old Arab trading routes. All the seven items on this side of the disc represent an evening's entertainment spent with a Mohamedan Swahili family in Tabora whose taste in music leans towrds the Arab side of the family than the African. Two close friends who frequently play together in the evenings recorded these items. The wife of one of them provides some of the solos. They are typical, no doubt, of a musical evening at home by Swahili players anywhere in East Africa. All the items were recorded in the small sitting room of their Swahili home. The men singers sat around a table in the light of a parafin lamp and their veiled womenfolk sat on mats in the adjoining rooms, watching through the doorways. "Do not covet because there is no colour bar in jail. Even though you go to London and become a Barrister at law if you are in trouble you are in trouble just the same. I am a somebody at my home but prison they regard me as a nobody" Topical Taarab song, with 1 Udi, 1 Mandoline and 1 Duff tambourine drum (-14.91-).
