The main aim of Sauti za Busara (Sounds of Wisdom) is to bring people together and celebrate
the wealth and diversity of African music. A majority of groups
participating are from the Swahili speaking region, with some
visiting artists from other countries. A rich and vibrant
mix of styles is showcased each year, including traditional ngoma, taarab, kidumbak, mchiriku, rumba, "muziki wa dansi",
Swahili hiphop "bongo
flava", r’n’b, mystic and religious music,
theatre, comedy and dance.
Immensely popular with Tanzanians as well as visitors to
the region, Sauti za Busara has firmly
established itself as an unmissable event on the African cultural
calendar and "the friendliest festival on Planet Earth."
