Bongo Flava is a popular name for Tanzanian hip hop music. The genre originated in the 1990s, primarily as an imitation or derivative of American hip hop, with increasing influences from reggae, R&B, afrobeat, dancehall, and traditional Tanzanian styles such as taarab and dansi, a fusion that has created a unique musical style.
