Sauti Za Busara

I'm going to this festival this weekend!!!!!!!


For the last 7 years Zanzibar has hosted the Sauti Za Busara (Sounds of Wisdom) Music Festival within the walls of the old fort in Stonetown. Its been coined the "friendliest festival on planet earth". There will be taarab drums, hiphop, poetry and so much more from Zanzibar, Mainland Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal, The Gambia, Uganda, DRC, South Africa, and some Euro-African groups. And to my delight selling of jewelry, clothes, shoes, and other handmade, beautiful wearable art!

I'm so excited! Leaving Friday by ferry to Zanzibar. All I need is that sea sickness medicine... Last time I was on a ferry I spent the entire ride with my head in the toilet. : )
