East African
Music has steadily evolved over the years, from the dull yet melancholic and interesting
traditional style of music to a diverse rich tapestry of different genres most of which are direct tributaries of the traditional, cultural music style.

East African Music's inspiration and style is got from the different cultures, historic and social events, fantasies and myths, geographical landscapes and the creative art of East African people. [4] [5]
Currently, there are a number of music genres in East Africa. Some are intelligently weaved from the various East African Music styles while others are contemporary sub-genres derived from other global music genres. These genres are perfectly blended by a number of music specialists and the idea keeps expanding as years go by. [6] [7]
Modern Music Production has also played a big role in the evolvement of East African Music and development of music genres and sub-genres in the region. [8] [1]
Modern Music Producers work hand in hand with musicians, music experts and creative music enthusiasts to come up with a style of music. This style is then adapted by music artists and finds its way through the media and music industry until its popularly recognized and publicly accepted as an authentic mainstream music genre/style.
The first form of popular music to arise out of traditional music was the Kadongo Kamu. This style of music rose to prominence in the early 1980s from the Buganda traditional Kiganda Music. [32]
Kadongo Kamu was influenced by various musicians in Uganda at the time for example Philly Lutaaya who released two internationally successful albums(Born In Africa & Merry Christmas) both of which are popular to date. [33]
Many other genres have arose in Uganda over the years for example Kidandali which is also called Afro Ragga. This genre is pursued by many young iconic musicians in Uganda for example Zizza Bafana. Many national and international hits have been made in this genre. [34]
Modern Music Production however, has led to the rise of many more music genres and sub-genres in the country for example;
Tanzania is one of the most musically established countries in East Africa. Tanzanian musicians mostly sing in Kiswahili. Kiswahili is the most widely used language in East Africa. [35] [36]
There are five mainly prominent music genres in Tanzania;
The music of Kenya diversifies from folk music based on the different languages and cultures within the country. The most dominant music instrument used in Kenyan music is the guitar which is played and arranged with a lot of complexity. [37]
Musical instruments usually interplay with each other and at times involve a repetitive rhythm. Kenyan musicians usually sing in Kiswahili. [38]
