In a drive to revive the variety of musical genres from the dhow countries region, it demonstrates its musical versatility through genres such as modern taarab, mgodro, salege, chakacha, sega and mbiwi. The G Clef Taarab Orchestra aka G Clef Band or Matona’s Group was formed in 1995 after the privatisation of the Bwawani Hotel and subsequent break-up of the Bwawani Taarab Orchestra. As former director of the Bwawani Taarab Orchestra, Matona was asked by the musicians to continue by forming a new group, hence The G Clef Taarab Orchestra, which at that time continued to perform traditional taarab music.
Kikundi cha G Clef au kwa jina jengine kinajulikana kama ‘Kikundi cha Matona’, kilianzishwa mwaka 1995 baada ya kubinafsishwa kwa hoteli ya Bwawani. Matona alikuwa kiongozi wa kikundi kilichojulikana kama Kikundi cha Taarab cha Bwawani, hoteli ilipobinafsishwa kikundi hakikuvunjika, kiliendelea kwa jina jengine ambalo ni G Clef Taarab Orchestra, wanakikundi hawa waliendeleza kupiga muziki wa taarab.Na pale wanamuziki wakongwe walipokuwa wakihama kikundi, Matona alikuwa akileta wanamuziki vijana ambao akiwafundisha ujuzi mwenyewe.Hatimaye kikundi hichi kikawa maarufu Zanzibar.
