Our Aim
If we put the clock back a few more years to 1997 and take the ferry from Dar es Salaam to the island of Unguja (Zanzibar), local hip hop was mostly centered around a few individuals who all knew each other. There was no music industry to speak of, so the only rap recordings from those days were the live recordings of the ‘Mabishoo’ tape that was all taped on the sound system of Fuji Disco (Bububu, north of Zanzibar town) and a few more home-made albums like a cassette by Kim Pekee, one half of the duo behind ‘Mabishoo’.
Another guy involved with those recordings was Cool Para, who after a first rap effort went on to form his own rap group called Struggling Islanders together with Cool Muza, Haji and female emcees SJ & Aunt Suria. They got some funding from the ministry of education to go to the mainland to Soundcrafters studio and record ‘Historia’, a song about the beautiful history of post-revolution Zanzibar and a string of other tunes, which together made up their first album.
