The period from 1968 to 1985 is often regarded as one of the classic periods of Tanzanian popular music. A significant reason for the success of popular music in Tanzania during this time was the migration of over two hundred Congolese artists to Dar es Salaam. This migration, one of the largest artist-centered movements to take place on the African continent, brought a heightened sense of professionalism and credibility to Tanzania's music scene--specifically rumba. Here, Perullo elaborates the reason on why so many Congolese musicians decide to move to Tanzania, though Congolese music is popular in eastern and central Africa.
