Archived Lists Of Pancocojams Posts About Music, Dance, & Other Cultural Aspects Of The East African Nations Of Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, & Rwanda (2011 through 2018)

Edited by Azizi Powell

This is Part II of a two part compilation of published pancocojams posts about East Africa* from 2011 through 2018.

This post includes at least one post about Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, & Rwanda.(2011 through 2018).

Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2019/01/archived-lists-of-pancocojams-posts_11.html for Part II of this compilation. Part I includes at least one post about Burundi, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles,.Somalia, Sudan, & South Sudan (from 2013 through 2017).

Note that I didn't publish any posts about Djibouti. My apologies. That omission wasn't done on purpose.

In addition to the posts on this archived list, some other information about these East African nations (including Djibouti) may also be found in the upcoming pancocojams archived lists of posts about other nations (for example, with regard to songs that are performed by people from more than one African nation) as well as on the upcoming archived list of posts about general information about Africa, or on other archived lists.

The posts that are included in these lists are only found on one pancocojams list even though some of them could have (also) been added to other pancocojams archived lists.

Archived lists of pancocojams posts about other nations (including other African nations) will be published ASAP.

These lists have been prepared for archiving purposes and to raise public awareness about these posts.

Note that these archived lists aren't hyperlinked. Please use Google search or this blog's internal search engine to access individual posts that are found on these lists.

Click the "archived lists of pancocojams posts on Africa" tag that is found below for other archived lists in this series.

Thanks to all those who have contributed to these posts.

DISCLAIMER:
These showcased videos/sound files aren't meant to represent any popularity ranking or "best of" listing in these African nations or elsewhere, although some of these songs may indeed be quite popular in those nations and elsewhere.

I found most of the music and dance videos on these lists by "surfing" YouTube for songs and/or videos from these nations that are aesthetically pleasing to me. In addition to that criteria, I was introduced to some songs as a result of them being mentioned by commenters in discussion threads for certain African songs. I also chose to publish a post about some YouTube sound files or videos on these lists because of their high numbers of views.

I realize that what is aesthetically pleasing to me (as an individual and as an African American) may not necessarily be representative of what is aesthetically pleasing to people from the East African nations that are the focus of this post. Furthermore, I'm aware that my perception of these songs and videos is from the standpoint of an African American (for instance, in some of these selections, my focus on the vocalists and/or the discussion thread commenters' use of African American vernacular English.)

I also realize that a list compiled by any other person would be different from the list that I've compiled.

It would be interesting to compare these selected videos (and the text only excerpts) with lists from other people who are from the nation where these videos and text excerpts come from and who -like me- aren't from that nation.

Visitor comments and additions to these posts' discussion threads and/or to this list's discussion thread are welcome.
