In Dar es Salaam, Afropop travelers were treated to an array of outstanding performances, including Swahili rumba—featuring classic 12-piece dance bands known as musiki wa dansi—modern taarab orchestras with deep Arabic influences, lively gospel music and dance at a Sunday morning church service, and the electrifying singeli, a genre of electronic youth music sweeping the nation. To deepen the cultural experience, artists and cultural creatives were invited to join the group for dinners, allowing travelers to engage in direct conversations with some of Dar’s most influential figures. Many participants appreciated the fact that they encountered so few foreign tourists, making their experience feel authentically local.
