Screaming in at S9+5 here, simply excellent reception today
1844 On abruptly with brief Quran?
1850 OM talk, then what sounded like a political speech in what sounded like Italian, of all things...
1855 Short Taraab selection
1859 Ment "Spice FM"
1900 Time pips, and into what I gather was news with many ments "Tanzania"
1908 A bizarrely cool martial/heroic song in AA?
1915 Long block of Quran
1944 Went straight from Quran right into a mellow dance track.
2000 OM talk, couple ments of Dar, into some upbeat pop; nice rumba!
2026 OM talk with "Radio Tanzania" heard in passing. Back to upbeat pops - sounds Congolese.
2047 off immediately following the last song
Tanzania has seen multi-cultural influences, and this really shows up in their programming. And also their music, which is some of the finest in Africa.
Here are links to a couple of tracks from my collection, if you're interested in hearing what some of this sounds like at a higher quality.
Masikini Roho Yako - Ikhwani Safaa Musical Club (Taraab)

Masua - Orchestra Maquis Du Zaire (Muziki wa Dansi)

In again well today 927Jan13), but not nearly as well as the other day. Very nice multilingual at 1940 by YL.
Maybe Spice FM is a Top 40 station, since a couple of the songs I am hearing today I heard on Friday. ;D
2100 Running long, and now into Bongo (Tanz hip hop) program until pulled the plug at 2109.

After weeks of trying I finally heard their English segment last week. about 10 minutes at 18:00utc. often pre-empted for other things.
