From the 13-16th February 2020 I had the chance to visit the festival Sauti za Busara in Zanzibar. Sauti za Busara is a festival that takes place every year and this year we celebrated the 17th edition of the festival. It’s one of the biggest festivals in East Africa with 44 shows over 4 days on 3 stages. This year over 27000 fans from around the world came to listen to musicians from all over Africa like Ambasa Mandela & the Last Tribe (Kenya), The Mafik (Tanzania), FRA! (Ghana), Tarajazz (Zanzibar) and Mehdi Qamoum (Morocco).
