Have a look at the pictures section on our festival website, "eye witness" report reports by Birgit Quade and Melanie Sharpe and features on Chibite and Didier Awadi.
If you were lucky enough to be at the festival, please take a moment to complete the questionnaire (English or Swahili). Those completed by the end of March will be entered into a prize draw with three lucky entries winning a t-shirt and other goodies. There's a choice of English or Kiswahili.
“There was a very impressive selection of visiting artists some of whom were unknown to the local people before. This has increased peoples’ trust in Sauti za Busara. It is obvious that the festival will have more audiences in the future, even when the programme does not show familiar names” Alex Mwavangila, audience member |
For those who have been waiting patiently, you’ll be delighted to know the doors are now open for applications for 2008 festival. The first step is to fill in a form, which you can do online, or print it out and post it to us. Available in English and Kiswahili
