X Plastaz - Aha! Maasai hip hop - not Bongo Flava Tanzanian Maasai rap group X Plastaz music video about life in a traditional Masai village. Shot in 2003 in Eluwai near Monduli, on the edge of the great rift valley, it was the first Tanzanian hip hop video showing traditional village life and the customs of the Maasai people. The song's rap is in Swahili and Haya, while the chorus is actually a traditional Maasai chant. From the album 'Maasai hip hop' (OutHere records, Germany) NB: This song was recorded in 2001! Don't compare it to what is coming out today in E.Africa. Tags: xplastaz bongo flava maasai masai massai swahili african hip hop tanzania arusha traditional |

African music - Swahili hip hop: X Plastaz - Nini dhambi? Not Bongo Flava, this is Tanzanian Hip Hop. Last video of the late mc Faza Nelly from X Plastaz, Tanzania's most well known hip hop crew who merge Swahili rap and traditional Maasai music. This video to the song 'Nini dhambi kwa mwenye dhiki?' about poverty in Tanzania was partly recorded on top of Ol Doinyo Lengai, a remote, active volcano and the Maasai's 'Mountain of God' which had its 1st major eruption in years the day after Nelly died. Languages: Kiswahili and Maa (kiMaasai) March 2008: it is now exactly two years since Nelly was stabbed by a drunk neighbour for no reason, and despite the fact that there are victims, the killer got away and has never been caught. May justice prevail.

X Plastaz - African rap - report from Dutch national tv (Not Bongo Flava, this is genuine Tanzanian Hip Hop) Report by Dutch national tv (Netwerk, presenter speaks Dutch but the interviews are in English) from June 2005 about X Plastaz, the Tanzanian hip hop crew who merge Swahili rap and traditional Maasai chanting. The video shows X Plastaz recording in the studio of Kid Sundance, the Dutch producer who also released 12 inches with Declaime and Busy Bee. The beat is that of 'Cheza', the latest X Plastaz single which is available on the National Geographic compilation 'GeoRemixed: Big Beats For A Small Planet'. Then the group is followed to a community performance in the city of Almere where Yamat, the Maasai singer/warrior explains how he had to kill lions all by himself using only a short spear.

Swahili song Cheza - X Plastaz (African rap) No Bongo flava: strictly Tanzanian hip hop with Kiswahili and Maasai lyrics. Latest video by Tanzanian rap group X Plastaz who toured the world with their trademark Maasai hip hop style. After the conscious rap song Nini dhambi, the new video Cheza ('dance') is about having a good time. It shows rare on-stage and behind-the-scenes footage from their tours in Europe (Brussels, Amsterdam, London), South America (Brazil: Rio and Salvador) and Gabon (Libreville at Gabao hip hop festival). With raps by the late Faza Nelly and a beat made by Dutch producer Kid Sundance with a sound reminiscent of Slum Village or Jdilla / Jay Dee. Edit: Marc Schapink, post production: Thomas Gesthuizen (J4) & Paul Kempe. Song produced by Kid Sundance NB this clip is slightly off sync, a youtube problem. I will try to upload another format that will cause less sync issues. See www.xplastaz.com and www.myspace.com/xplastaz for more about X Plastaz.
