This article traces how Tanzanian Bongo Flava hip hop has shifted from a politically conscious genre at the dawn of democratization and liberalization to its contemporary articulations, more commonly aligned with glamorous, geographically abstracted Western pop sensibilities. It argues that ‘swag’, as an intimately embodied and musically performed charisma, has served as a connective thread across political and economic transformations because of its capacity to generate phantasmatic deferrals to common experiences of dispossession. These fetishistic qualities mediate the attachments of artists and consumers within the splintering musical genre, holding open space to reach for a diversity of desired futures.

从愤怒到财富：坦桑尼亚嘻哈产业的赃物和资本

本文追溯了坦桑尼亚邦戈·弗拉瓦嘻哈如何从民主化和自由化初期的具有政治意识的流派转变为当代的表达方式，更常见的是与迷人的、地理上抽象的西方流行音乐情感相一致。它认为，“赃物”作为一种亲密体现和音乐表演的魅力，已经成为政治和经济转型的连接线，因为它能够产生对共同剥夺经历的幻想推迟。这些拜物教的品质在分裂的音乐流派中调解了艺术家和消费者的依恋，为各种理想的未来提供了开放空间。
