Hailing from Dar Es Salaam (the capital of Tanzania), this mother-daughter duo, Rehema Tajiri and Queen Asher, will sweep you up in a singeli whirlwind: their frantic electronic music blends high-speed synths with drum machines. While singeli thrives in Tanzanian block parties and kigodoro (marathon parties nicknamed after the foam mattresses on which dancers collapse from exhaustion), Lausanne is fortunate to host this duo, who are leading figures of one of the most vibrant and explosive scenes on the African continent. There's no doubt that Queen Asher's youthful explosiveness, coupled with Rehema Tajiri's experience and vocal power, will elevate singeli to a whole new dimension.
