of Dar es Salaam's bustling caf茅s.

joins them to discuss what's hot and what's not on the streets of Dar
es Salaam.
听
On Tuesday Fred and Charmaigne travel to Zanzibar, an
island state within the United Republic of Tanzania.
听
Once the trade capital of East Africa, Zanzibar attracted
Sumerians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Arabs, Chinese and Malays, giving
the city a distinct culture and history from mainland Tanzania.
听
Fred and Charmaigne learn about the island's complex
slavery and spice trade past.
听
They are also joined by the undisputed Queen of traditional
Zanzabari Taarab and Unyago music, Bi Kidude.
听
Bi Kidude talks about how times have changed. Stone
Town, the main city of Zanzibar, is a hive of activity, full of tourists
and young Zanzibari entrepreneurs, but how do they feel about their
history and links to the mainland?
听
Outlook will be asking what 40 years of Tanzanian independence
means to them.
