   hello, as a long time western collector of muziki wa dansi, I just came across this, and was excited to hear that you preserving the wonderful music.

   a couple of thoughts you may want to explore – the music copyright society of kenya has been quite successful in digitizing and licensing mp3 files of older kenyan music with “the orchard”, you may want to see if a similar arrangement is possible

   secondly, Graeme Counsel received a grant fromthe british library to digitize and preserve the syliphone archives in guinee, maybe there would be grant money available for you rproject

     Habari zenu. nimependa sana kazi mnayojaribu kuifanya. Miziki yetu mingi sana imeishia kupotea bila watu kujua kama ni ya kwetu. Mimi nimejua baadhi ya bendi miezi michache ilopita na kusikia nyimbo kipindi kifupi hiki. Nawaombeni pia mtoe fursa kwenye ukurasa huu mtumie lugha yetu adhimu ya kiswahili, kwa vile ni kuhusu utamaduni wa Tanzania basi msione haya kutumia lugha inayobeba hata hizo nyimbo zenyewe.
     Kama kuna wapenzi wa nje wanaotaka kujua wawekeeni tafrisi ila nashauri lugha ya kiswahili ndio itangulizwe na hapo italeta maana zaidi. Siku njema na kazi njema wakubwa zangu.

   Hi,

   I run a website http://www.kentanzavinyl.com that is an online discography of 45rpm vinyl records released in Kenya and Tanzania. I created it because so little information seemed to be available online about East African music or the region’s recording industry.

   I’ve added a brief blog about your project on the site and would like to get more involved with what you are doing. My website has put me in touch with collectors, musicologists and researchers from around the world who will want to know about your work.

   One person who I think you should get in touch with is Matthew Lavoie, the African music specialist at Voice of America. VoA worked with Radio Tanzania Dar-Es-Salaam on recordings in the past and might be able to offer help again. Matthew’s e-mail is mlavoie@voanews.com

   All the best

   Tim

     Hi Toby!

     Thanks so much for your message. I will also be in Dar in early January and would really like to connect. Would you mind shooting me an email at Tanzaniaheritageproject@gmail.com with a little bit more about you, your experience, and how you would like to be involved in the Tanzania Heritage Project’s Radio Tanzania digitization project? Thanks! Can’t wait to hear from you.

     Cheers,

     Rebecca

   I’m an American journalist living and working in the Swiss Alps. Today I read Hilary Heuler’s news item “Heart and soul of a nation” in the Christian Science Monitor magazine (26 March 2012) who mentionedRebecca Corey and Benson Rukantabula as two of the TBC Tanzania Heritage Project cofounders. My wife and I have cowritten two nonfiction books now “in press” dealing with creative partnerships, and we’d like to mention yours. Can you inform us who the project’s cofounders were and when it was launched officially? We’d like to call the attention of our friends to it. Thanks in advance.

   With best regards,

   Lyn (+ Hanni) Shepard
