allanyeelamis
Allanyeelamis is a term that refers to a specific type of musical composition or performance style that combines elements of traditional African music with contemporary electronic music. The term is a blend of "allan," a Swahili word meaning "all," and "yeelamis," which is derived from the Arabic word "yilam," meaning "to play." This fusion genre emerged in the late 20th century, particularly in East African countries such as Kenya and Tanzania, as a response to the global influence of electronic music and the desire to incorporate traditional musical elements into modern compositions.
Allanyeelamis typically features traditional African instruments such as the mbira, ngoma, or kalimba, alongside electronic synthesizers,
The genre has gained popularity both within Africa and internationally, with artists like Kanda Bongo Man,
