Greetings in April 2025

BUSARA SAYS THANK YOU!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the unforgettable 2025 Sauti za Busara festival, we couldn’t have done it without you! Together, we danced, we sang, we celebrated, and created magical moments until the very last note of the festival echoed into the night.

Your energy, love, and passion made the 22nd edition a resounding success, and we are beyond grateful to have you as part of our vibrant family. As we wrap up this year’s festivities, we want to say ASANTE SANA from the bottom of our hearts. The theme “Voices for Peace” resonated deeply throughout the festival, and we hope it stays in all of our hearts, inspiring us to carry its message forward, wherever we go. May peace guide us in everything we do, until we meet again.

 We can’t wait to do it all again next year, the best is yet to come! See you in 2026!
