• Keep per coverage on ProQuest: "1967 playing guitar for the Dar es Salaam Jazz Band, one of Tanzania's most popular groups at that time", plus "with the first dansi band so far identified being the Dar es Salaam Jazz Band, established in 1932", & "The Dar es Salaam Jazz Band played to enthusiastic crowds in Dar es Salaam by 1932 and spawned the birth of a host of bands that included the Morogoro Jazz Band", plus "featuring such illustrious acts as the Dar es Salaam Jazz Band". Evidence provided is from secondary sources that indicate historical notability as a prominent band at a national level. Google books has many hits too.

However, it seems like most mentions consist of a few sentences here and there. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Rainsage (talk) 05:26, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
