Singeli or sometimes called Sengeli is a
In the early 2000s vigodoro, meaning all night parties, began being organized by Zaramo women for their other female family and friends particularly Manzese and Tandale wards. However the latter is considered the birthplace of the genre. The parties involved playing cassette tapes of taarab music that other women would come and dance to. As vigodoro parties grew MCs would be invited to come and perform over the cassettes. Msaga Sumu was one such MC and is considered one of the early founders of Singeli.[1][2]
