Changes In Rhythm
Volume 1Bi Kidude
She is considered the undisputed queen of Taarab and Unyago music in Tanzania and the world. Some people think that Bi Kidude, is 100 years old. She walked the length and the breadth of the country barefoot in the early 1930s fleeing another unhappy marriage.
In the 1930s she ended up in Dar es Salaam where she sang with Egyptian Taarab group for many years challenging every perception of age and the role of women in Islam to become Tanzania's most legendary female musician.
