The Embassy of Switzerland has contributed over TZS 260 million to support the Sauti za Busara music festival for the next three years. The Swiss Ambassador to Tanzania, H.E. Florence Tinguely Mattli, met with the Chairman of the Busara Promotions Board of Trustees Hon. Simai Mohammed for the handover at the Swiss Embassy offices in Dar es Salaam on February 3.
The Sauti za Busara festival is one of Africa’s leading music events. This unique annual festival promotes respect for diversity by bringing people together to celebrate live music from across the continent. This festival’s mission is to increase visibility and accessibility for African music, develop skills and opportunities for those in the music industry and strengthen regional and international networking and partnerships.
“Switzerland has been promoting and supporting various initiatives and events within the arts and culture sector in Tanzania for over a decade now,” said Ambassador Tinguely Mattli. “The Sauti za Busara festival is a good example of a cultural event that brings people together to enjoy the arts while contributing to economic development.”
Honourable Simai expressed appreciation on behalf of the Busara Promotions Board of Trustees for the support. “The sustainability of most cultural organizations in Africa has mostly depended on support from donors. The support from the Swiss Embassy is a huge boost for this great festival,’’ he said.
The 14th edition of the Sauti za Busara music festival will be held between 9 and 12 February 2017 at the Old Fort in Stone Town, Zanzibar.
