Sauti Za Busara is one of the largest music festivals in East Africa, featuring various artists from around the world each year. The event showcases a diverse program of exclusively African live music, proving a valuable stage for local talents. The 2022 edition rocked the walls of the stone town with over 20 shows on one stage which was held under the theme: Amplifying Women’s Voices.

Over three nights, twenty groups thrilled audiences that had travelled from across the world to catch a glimpse of Africa’s musical Diversity and talent.

For many of the performers and revellers in attendance, this was their first outing in almost two years due to the global pandemic which had brought international travel and economies to a standstill.

The audience, too, was as diversified as the artists line up, they had travelled from as far as Australia, Norway, Greece, France, Germany, Russia, USA, Japan and other parts of the world.

Sauti za Busara 2022 was one-stage that witnessed a verve of talent from all over Africa. The 2023 edition of the Sauti za Busara is set to take place over Valentine’s Day weekend next year.
