Zenji Flava is a common nickname for Zanzibari hip hop, a genre that began to develop in the 1990s.
 Cool Para said to be the first rapper to pioneer Zenji Flava during the 90s.
 He was using Saleh Jabri's tape to rap on some local shows in Zanzibar until 1996 when he teamed-up with another rapper named Cool Muza together with others they formed a rap group called "Struggling Islanders.
 They made their debut single "Historia" in early 1997.

 Sam,e style as Saleh J. Sometimes later they disbanded and Kim went on pursue a solo and released an album called Kim Pekee.
 Abdul went to live abroad.
 The name is made of "zenji", which is slang for "Zanzibar", and "flava", which is a corruption of "flavour", thus meaning "of Zanzibari taste".
 As with bongo flava, i.e., Tanzanian mainland's hip hop, zenji flava is usually sung in swahili; the main difference between the two subgenres is that Zanzibari hip hop also reflects some influence of taarab, and thus indirectly of Arab music and Indian music.
