Amplifying Women’s Voices at Sauti za Busara 2022
|
|
|
Warm greetings from Stone Town, Zanzibar! Sauti za Busara festival 2022 was held at the Ngome Kongwe aka Old Fort from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 February. The festival showed the world a face of Tanzania and Africa that is often unseen, with close to 4,000 attendees each day from across Africa and other continents united in joy and celebration of live music from across Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Congo, Reunion and South Africa.
Effects of the pandemic had complicated international travel with many countries still enforcing strict Covid protocols. However, despite these and other financial challenges, we managed to pull off what many people are saying was our greatest festival to date!
Once again, we proved audiences yearn for more diverse musical expressions from across the African continent. We showed it is possible to host a uniquely African music experience that brings social and economic benefits for the island, whilst our rich cultural heritage does not have to be compromised for this to successfully take place.
Our spotlight this year shone brightly on female performers from East and southern Africa, under the banner ‘Paza Sauti; Amplifying Women’s Voices’. Behind the scenes, women crew members were also employed as coordinators, technicians, stage managers and security personnel, in recognition that opportunities for women need to be increased across all sectors of the music industry.
