Shortwave Broadcast / Radio Tanzania Zanzibar 11735 *1844-2047* 25Jan13

« on: January 25, 2013, 1946 UTC »

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)

1335 Program of EZL Asian pops
1345 OM/YL talk in unid lang; had the feel of a "Let's Speak..." program

1358 covered by USB activity; no chance at a TOH ID

Weak, fady.

Hanoi sked here, so a possibility.  Anyone out west hear this any better?

Having trouble hearing this in some local noise.  The music is at a low level, but the IDs at 0321 and 0325 are blasting through.

Col TH ment that he's been gone a couple of months, but is back now.

0330 Cars - "It's All I Can Do" in at S9, then deep fade to nothing for a while.
0339 No longer audible here.

Hey THR, good to hear you again!
