Zanzibar teenager on playing taarab music on the violin

Teenager Neema Florence Surrie started to play the violin at the age of nine.

Since then, she has found a love for traditional taarab music and plays in an all-female taarab music group in Zanzibar.

She says that playing traditional music will make sure that it's not forgotten.
