Sauti Za Busara - Zanzibar, Tanzania

I'm a huge fan of the BBC's photo section and of African music, and so I was pleasantly surprised to find the following picture essay on Sauti Za Busara (Sounds of Wisdom), a music festival held in Stone Town, the capital city of island of Zanzibar. This past week was its seventh anniversary, and over 40 groups representing the continent and the Diaspora performed in front of massive crowds. Food, dancing and celebration marked the 4-day event, which carried on despite the power problems Zanzibar has been dealing with for the past few months. I'm definitely adding this festival to my life's bucket list. Check the photo story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8521925.stm
