Singeli: The World's Most Frenetic Beat - BBC Africa

Singeli is Africa’s fastest music beat. With speeds of over 300 beats per minute, Singeli has become the sound of the streets and clubs of Tanzania. Initially an underground genre played in the informal settlements of Dar Es Saalam, Singeli is now a favourite among revellers and one of the sounds used by the late president John Magufuli in his campaigns and public appearances. It’s gaining popularity in neighbouring East African countries and the world at large.
