Zanzibar was the seat of the Omani sultanate and a dhow-trade hub, then united with Tanganyika in 1964 to form Tanzania. Cloves are grown on both islands, and Pemba produces much of Tanzania's clove crop. Pemba is hillier and greener than Zanzibar and receives more rain, with fewer visitors. Taarab music, with orchestras and sung poetry, originated on the Swahili coast and remains popular on both islands.
