How to apply to perform at Sauti za Busara 2010

Sauti za Busara is an international music festival, held every February in Zanzibar, showcasing music from around the Swahili region, across the African continent and the diaspora beyond.

Over past years, more than 240 groups have performed, including Jose Chameleone, Juma Nature & Wanaume Family TMK, Samba Mapangala, Saida Karoli, Natacha Atlas, Didier Awadi, Eric Wainaina, Bassekou Kouyate, Seckou Keita Quartet, Culture Musical Club and many more.

For artists performing in the Festival, we usually pay a modest performance fee and cover local expenses in Zanzibar, including travel, accommodation, food and incidentals. Artists from outside the region will usually have to find their own travel sponsors.

The festival selection committee meets at the beginning of August to decide the artists for SzB2010. All applicants will be notified of the selection committee decision by email during September.
