Native Swahili probably 1 million or but if you count the Swahilized Swahilis the numbers increases but i don't know. They have a presence though.

Islam spread more because the inland trade was more aggressive in TZ. There is a city in Tanzania called Tabora, home of the Nyamwezi people they also traded heavily with the coastal muslims. The coastal people established themselves so thoroughly in Tabora, it was considered the mainland version of Zanzibar.

There isn't any real Muslim and Christian issue in TZ or Zanzibar for that matter. Zanzibar sees thousands and thousands of Christian tourists every year. However, you do have those Zanzibaris that studied in Saudi Arabia that are a bit too Islamic for a lack of better words.

How is the union with Zanzibar? Those guys were demanding freedom sometimes back like our coasterians

Nabhani:


Back in the days some artists used to shoot their videos in Kenya, even today they may shoot a video there from time to time, more rare now. I wouldn't say most of the Tanzanian artists were running to Kenya to do their music and direct their videos.

The top Tanzanian videos today though are definitely shot in South Africa, better quality FOR NOW...why lie? lol

Lets give Tanzanians props for their work ethic and aggressiveness in East Africa when it comes to the music. To have even a little impact on non-swahili speaking countries is quite impressive, you dont even know what they are saying 90% of the time.

I truly respect your Bongo artists they make appealing and above all inspirational music. You will struggle to find a kenyan song with a message apart from partying (kujibamba) and women (mamanzi).

Nabhani:


Mijikenda aren't considered Swahili by actual Swahili people but they are cousins, thats clear.

Yeah i would consider the Swahili a nation myself.

What do you mean by nation?

Muafrika2:

I've attended one bull fighting which was done over the grave of my uncle immediately after he was buried (he was a reknown bull fighter so its how they are honoured.)

The bulls are fearsome and they are given way because when in fighting mood, they can attack anything on anyone on their way. I doubt they would die. They fight like wild animals such that once the opposing animal feels overpowered, it runs leaving the winner in the arena, to the roar of the crowd.

Cc: Taysermahiri

Oh I see man. From wat I saw in a news feature is the bulls are fed with weed and so assumed death is common considering the bulls are high.

NairobiWalker:


Nowenuse is going to be very mad at you. He made that post deliberately so that you could launch a scathing attack on Kenyans saying how jealous they are of Tanzania. You positive response isn't going to go well with him lol.

I laugh at Nowenuse

Chineke is a common name. I think it would be wrong to call so many people God

Yeah

They're totally high and irrational on such days. Perhaps that's why animal activists have an issue.

@MUAFRICA2, TAYSERMAHIRI and our KENYAN FRIENDS here.

I'm very sorry for every misconduct I showed or might have shown here two days ago, there come a time in life where we have to disagree to agree, I bet that's one of those days, I'm not an insolent person; so as much of us here too.

we need to take ourselves the way we are and understand ourselves dearly before we talk ill of each other. I've learnt so many interesting thing about Africa and her beautiful people over time in this thread, so, I'll implore us to keep up the good work and forget about thrash.

and to u MUAFRICA2, oh, my MUAFRICA(African woman), I'm deeply sorry for that rude statement(I believe u've erased it from ur mind).
I jealously cherish our African women. I thought u were actually a male, but, thank heavens; that's resolved.

pls, lets try our possible best to promote African culture among ourselves and stop believing every western reports on us. we need to write our own stories with our own hands.

MUAFRICA2........... TAKE THIS, I HOPE U'LL ENJOY IT.

Holly I loved the Tigringa musics. I also observed that they do not do the eskita. Instead they were turning their heads n leaping... Is eskita exclusively Amhara?

****The traditional hairstyles the women were carrying in the 3rd video, is that hairstyle exclusively Tigringa?
I also observed that they were feeding each other when they were eating in this 3rd video. Is that an Habesha culture?

Wow, The guys in the first video are cute . I think i am now beginning to observe physical differences between Tigrays n Habeshas. I am also observing accent differences in Tigrinya n Amhara languages.
Thanks for the videos.

Hati13:

Basically, they do but there is slight difference like they don't wear the golden things on their front head.

I can't speak Tigragn and Oromia languages. But, since Amharic and Tigragn has a common ancestor(Geez) among many other different ancestors, there are common words which I know. There are also some borrowed words between Amharegn and Oromo from each other vice verse.

Amharic is 60% Semitic and because of this, it's the least Semitic language which shows relatively less Semitic behaviors coming to other Semitic languages.

Kk. Do most Tigrays n Oromos in ET speak Amharic? (since it's the official language)

Nabhani:


Diamond Platnumz song Nasema Nawe is a good example of Coastal music that's more African, even how the women are dressed is very East African. Some Swahili societies still have matrilineal system (Comoros for example), as a matter of fact Comoros was ranked top in the Arab world for women's rights. Bantu societies regard women much higher than Arab societies.

-Yeah the Arabs were Swahili speakers, they still speak it in Oman
-I dont think the were attacked on the mainland
-There is a bunch of Arabs and Baluchis in TZ. You have coastal Arabs who can be considered Swahili and you have the mainland Arabs who i don't think can be called Swahili but because their ancestors most likely arrived at the coast before they went inland, they may be Swahili...confusing stuff...let them figure that one out...

Kk. Enlightening. Do any of the arabs in TZ still speak arabic as their mother tongue?

Nowenuse:


Kenyans have no culture and it's such a shame! So, they usually get so pissed off whenever they see other Africans celebrating and admiring culture.

TayserMahiri, mtis, NairobiWalker, Jay254 and co, you guys should learn from your fellow east africans here. Watch their musics and learn how African cultures must be promoted!

I have been challenged here by their Ethiopian songs, no matter how modern these Ethiopian songs looked, the culturak rhythms, dance steps, cultures and sounds are always present.

I have always come across modern cultural musics from Uganda and mainland Tanzania, especially Uganda and none from Kenya. Are Kenyans Europeans? Why don't you guys just relocate to Scandinavia or Western Europe if that is the case?


Here are some beautiful modern cultural songs from Uganda! Ednited and Hati13, you guys should check them out. I find the dance steps very beautiful

This is interesting! I have never come across Ugandan culture.
**** See the way the men are shaking their waists in the 2nd video.
Do you know what language they are singing? It doesn't sound like swahili.

Muafrika2:

definitely they enjoy. Bonny Khalwale's bulls especially, with all the VIP treatment

PissedYagami:

there are more rock and metal musicians in Kenya than in Tanzania and you dont listen to that genre, do you? Checkmate

Rock and metal musics are not popular among africans. They are western genres.
