Siti Muharam, known as the "Golden Voice" of Zanzibar, carries forward a profound musical legacy on Siti of Unguja. Following in the footsteps of her great-grandmother, the pioneering Siti Binti Saad, Muharam breathes new life into taarab — a Zanzibari musical style rarely heard outside of the region — blending deep-rooted tradition with her own reimagining of the form.
Siti of Unguja, released on On The Corner Records, is a bold and heartfelt tribute that both preserves and evolves the spirit of Zanzibari taarab music. The album's themes of love, consequence, and emotional longing are woven through richly layered instrumentation and Muharam's captivating vocals, making this a truly distinctive listening experience for fans of world music.
