MARABI

                     Colloquially rare

MARABI-This is one of the genres of music that has remained out of reach through the years.

 

HOW DID THIS EVOLVE?

Well. It all started with a couple of Africans working in a gold mine. They were exhausted and they wanted something like a deviation to support their spirits. They were the pioneers of this genre.

Musically

It is not that strict with the traditions nor the rules. It is a genre made just for entertainment. With the growth of interests the genre started getting serious and now some real stuff is put in here.

It has a lot of influences of American jazz, played along with a native African soul. It has a very simple structure wherein simple chord arpeggios, drum grooves and casual singing prevail allover. But it has its own identity in terms of its feel. it gives a feel that no other genre gives. u should try it sometime..
