Tanzania: musical journey to Mount Kilimanjaro

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Tanzania, Music

Bongoland II writes about Innocent Galinoma [1], a reggae artist from Tanzania living in the US: “His message is real and genuine, which you quickly pick up on when you talk to him. For example upon hearing his hit song “KILIMANJARO”, one could think that the message is about the famous majestic mountain in Africa…but paying more attention you quickly realize that there is a heavy message with references to oppressive governments, corrupt officials and starving children. The song takes you to the highest mountain in Africa with visions of all atrocities going on underneath.”
