Watafiti Mtandao 2012!
BAHATI MBAYA(No More Zawadi)........Hakuna kuhonga Utamaduni, the Swahili Scrap Opera will only become a reality through the cooperation of Artists longing for Cultural Innovation. In other words Moyo Zaidi - Msaada to cover the cost only - like all successful Watafiti projects have proven in the past.
Together with this return to the original Watafiti Principal, Watafiti.com website crashed early February (2012) - Was This A Coincidence? - .
It took your super-user 2 weeks to rebuild the new Watafiti.com WebSite. Please visit the new site and register if you are ready for the Swahili (scrap) Opera.
Due to excessive spam users only approved members will have access to the registered section of the website. And that is the part of the website where we will complete the Swahili Opera. We have tried to salvage the real "Watafiti" registered members from our crashed website, in case you fail to enter the new registered site please re-register. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Ahsante kwa Uvumulivu Wako.

The WATAFITI (Researchers in Kiswahili) is a group of musicians and artists in Tanzania involved in enriching the local culture which uses the Kiswahili language. The Swahili language, originating from the East-african coast, is now the most powerful cultural language for Tanzania and Kenya. An estimate for people using swahili is 50 million in 11 countries.
Dar es Salaam has for the last decades, played a dominant role in the development of the Swahili language and it is not surprising that the WATAFITI was formed in Dar. Some WATAFITI have left the country, proving that "Muziki Ni Njaa" or in other words, that surviving in the country is tuff.
In fact even you will become a MTAFITI as soon as you are actively involved in any of the projects of which some are implemented via this website. While WATAFITI is more like a movement than an organisation, you will not need a membership card to become a MTAFITI, only fresh ideas, artistic qualities and stamina.
We have energized the Swahili culture through music productions and cultural innovations since 1986 and although we are not announced on billboards nor are we "the talk of the town", the impact of WATAFITI in Tanzania is there to stay through its productions and associated artists, who will soon be represented by the third generation of artists.
Roam around our website or join one of the projects, leave your ideas about the destiny of cuture in East Africa on the blog, or just enjoy the (free) music and selected videos.
