Especially on the island of Zanzibar, we heard this catchy song over and over again. From Street vendors with pirated CDs ("Hey Sister! The music of Africa!") to the tree climber who was asked to demonstrate to us the method used to climb a coconut tree, the Zanzibaris sang "Jambo Bwana" to us. See (and hear) for yourself and while you're at it, pick up some basic Swahili too (Lyrics and meaning here). And it's no cliche, you are bound to hear the phrase "Hakuna Matata" used several times a day!
Here is a video of that entertaining coconut man and his rendition of the classic as he makes his way down. Enjoy!
