In two weeks time all attention will be diverted to the events at Zanzibar's Stone Town where the annual Sauti Za Busara festival will be taking place.

As anticipated, the buzz is already on especially after the launch and according to reservations that have so far been made; there is every reason to believe that it is going be a hit.

Musicians from the rest of Africa and elsewhere will converge at the Old Fort auditorium for a four-day performance.

This is not only an opportunity to be entertained but also to learn from what our brothers and sisters are doing elsewhere in order to improve on our music.

Above all through the festivals our musicians will be able to strike collabo deals with some of the famous names on the continent.

This therefore, calls upon all those in the industry to turn up in numbers for this annual extravaganza.

The notion that this is a tourist event is self defeating in many ways as it beats the very purpose that the festival was established for.
