What's the name of the person, band, or group who started Zimdaansaal, and during what time did the genre grow to become more popular than Urban Grooves and Zim Hip Hop?

Zimdaansaal music started from the genre fusion of Urban Grooves and Jamaican Dancehall music.

The formula is "Urban Grooves + Jamaican Dancehall music = Zimdancehall music

During the height of Urban Grooves, you had nuances of Dancehall music incorporated as part of the music production and songwriting process.

The same thing happened to Zim Hip Hop music.

Zim Urban Grooves + American Hip Hop/Rap music = Zim Hip Hop music

I see people constantly talk about culture vultures.

Can you give me an example in your terms what you mean by Zimdancehall artists being culture vultures?

For someone to be a culture vulture this entails taking advantage or capitalizing off of a culture you have no desire to support or understand in the long run.

But Zimdancehall is more like a sub-culture inheriting its attributes from Caribbean Dancehall culture.

So we can't conclude that Zimdancehall artists are culture vultures since many of them constantly pay homage to Caribbean Dancehall music.
