Description: The Mkwaju dance is popular, they say, amongst the more African element of this Swahili population which also shows a tendency towards Arabian and sometimes to Indian music. The population of the island is complex and consists of representatives of several East African tribes in addition to Arab, Indian and Shirazi peoples, and their offspring of mixed marriages. The effect in terms of musical performances is equally complex without unanimity, a phenomena found in other communities of mixed tribal and national marriages. Mkwaju dance song for men, with Marimba xylophone box rattle (-12.61-) and 2 friction sticks (-12.61-).
