Individual tribes are characterized in part by distinctive theatrical performances, dances, and music, for example, the Snake Dance performed by the Sukuma people. Some of these groups are sometimes invited to Dar es Salaam to  entertain foreign dignitaries, participate in  national celebrations and other activities. Occasionally, private or state funding is found to send them to foreign capitals to perform. Tanzanian musicians are beginning to make their mark in the music world. Theater, dance, and music skits on radio and television are also being used by churches, state agencies, and development organizations to relay public service messages about such topics as AIDS, Malaria, corruption, vaccination campaigns, and contraception.
