ZANZIBAR’S MUSIC AND ART FESTIVAL SET FOR REVIVAL NEXT YEAR

(Posted 22nd April 2016)

The organizers of one of Africa’s foremost music and performing arts festivals, Sauti Za Busara, have given the clearest indication yet that after a gap year, due to lack of funding and sponsorships, this grand event will make a comeback in 2017.

Sauti Za Busara is regularly listed in the top five African events of this kind and regularly found in the top 20 of similar events around the globe and the failure to raise enough money for the 2016 festival left thousands of aficionados and fans hugely disappointed and Zanzibar’s tourism industry taking a dive when arrival numbers in February failed to reach those of previous years.

Today though has Sauti Za Busara called for nominations for the 2017 event by artists and performers, details available via their website link http://busaramusic.org/callforartists/2017/index.php with a deadline of 31st of July.

Call for Artists 2017

Travel to Zanzibar is easy with Kenya Airways and Fastjet connecting the island from Nairobi and Dar es Salaam and accommodation, best booked as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, is varied and can be found in the old Stone Town, like the award winning Zanzibar Serena Hotel right on the water front or beach resorts across the island like the BlueBay or the Sultan Sands.

Mark February 09th to 12th 2017 in your calendar and join thousands of visitors from across Africa and the rest of the world to see Sauti Za Busara spring back to life!
