Back in the 1950s and 60s many regions in Zanzibar including the streets of Stone Town had at least one taarab or kidumbak group. Sadly few remain.
Katika miaka ya 1950 sehemu nyingi za Zanzibar ikiwemo mitaa ya Mji Mkongwe kulikuwa na angalau kikundi cha Taarab au Kidumbaki. Kwa bahati mbaya vimebaki vichache mno.
