SAUTI ZA BUSARA MUSIC FESTIVAL	top¨	
Greetings
Preparations are going well for the 6th edition of the festival; applications are pouring into the office from all corners of Africa and beyond and the line up for 2009 looks set to be the best ever!
Centred for four days in the historic Old Fort in Stone Town, the festival also features “Busara Xtra” fringe events around Zanzibar town, suburbs and rural locations. In all, more than four hundred musicians participate in the main festival, with a continuous daily programme of music from 4pm to 2am. Admission is free for all up until sunset.
As ever, thanks for your support and very best wishes
Yusuf Mahmoud, Festival Director
