Thanks to everyone – the artists, crew, staff, and especially the audience – who made the 10th edition of Sauti za Busara such a great success.

Plans for Sauti za Busara 2014 are now underway, and we hope you will join us, again if you are a regular, or for the first time if you are yet to discover ‘the Friendliest Festival on the Planet.’

In the meantime, please enjoy the videos: a Sauti za Busara 2013 promo clip and a 10-minute short documentary on Busara’s 10th anniversary edition. We hope you like them and see you again next year!

Bi Kidude (19??- 17 April 2013)

It is with very heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Fatuma binti Baraka, better known as ‘Bi Kidude’. We will always remember her and be grateful for her voice, her spirit, and her immortal contributions to Zanzibari music and culture. Rest in Peace, Bibi! We love you.
