Ever wondered what Taarab really is? Join us for Hadithi Hangout - Santuri's monthly book club facilitated by LaMusicJunkie & Sh_ron Onyango-Obbo as we take a deep dive into this tasteful musical style from the Kenyan coast!

As we read Shades of Benga, we discovered the differences between Swahili, Arabic, and Indian Taarab. And celebrated East African legends like Siti Binti Saad, Zuhura Swaleh, Zein L’Abdin, Juma Bhalo, and Maulidi Juma.

Tune in for insightful stories, infectious laughter, and of course, incredible music.
