Sounds From Sauti Za Busara Festival | Celebrating African Unity Through Music | Youth Cafe

By Nele Winter

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).

How We Plan To Tackle Mental Health Among Youth Using Surf Therapy | The Youth Cafe

Young people who are constantly exposed to stress and trauma are more at risk to physical illness and diseases, poor cognition and emotional and behavioural regulations. They are more likely to make life choices that are unhealthy for themselves and for those around them. To tackle those outcomes of stress we’re planning to set up a surf therapy along the Kenyan coast.
