Swahili Records Artists:
Harota
Harota is a singer and songwriter from the tribe of Hadzabe/ Hadza, a minority group of Tanzanian’s inhabitants. With his debut album „Hadza King of Zeze” the CD is the first production of Hazabe’s music. The CD is supported by a documentary film about the tracking of Harota in the bush of Serengeti‘s plateau to Arusha city where he recorded sessions and performed his 1st stage gig. The artist sings and plays Mbira, which is well-known as Zeze in Tanzania. Usually, Zeze is not a traditional Hadzabe instrument and Harota is the first musician to fuse it, which made him the King of Zeze in his community. Through his songs he tells the stories of Hadzabe people and their way of life. More than that, his songs are educative and encouraging. Harota sings also about politics in songs like „Ujamaa” (African socialism encouraged by late president J.K. Nyerere) or “Tuwafichue”, a song against corruption.
