Kiki Kidumbaki

Bio

Back in the 1950s and 60s many regions in Zanzibar including Stone Town had at least one taarab or kidumbak group. Sadly few remain. However, in the village of Mahonda, on the main road north from Zanzibar Town, since 1993 the Kiki Kidumbaki group has been alive and strong.

Kiki is the most respected kidumbak group in Zanzibar. It has the reputation of performing real kidumbak, as opposed to many groups who diluted the uniquely original traditions.
