Tanzanian culture is a rich blend of various ethnic groups, with over 120 tribes, including the Sukuma, Chaga, and Maasai. Each tribe has its own unique traditions, languages, and customs, contributing to the country's vibrant cultural tapestry. Traditional music and dance play a significant role in celebrations and rituals, often featuring instruments like the ngoma drum. The influence of Swahili culture is prominent, especially along the coastal regions, where Islam and African traditions merge. Art forms such as Tinga Tinga painting and Makonde wood carving showcase the creativity of Tanzanian artisans. Festivals, like the Zanzibar International Film Festival, celebrate this diverse heritage.
