Beyond the stage performances, the 19th edition of Sauti za Busara, one of Africa’s famous music festivals, women addressed the theme, Paza Sauti: Amplifying Women Voices, in conversations that encompassed all that is needed for female artistes to succeed.

The three-day (February 11-13) music festival attracted more than 10,000 fans and artistes from Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Uganda, Kenya and elsewhere (France, Germany, Russia, Netherlands) that saw women taking centre-stage both on and off the main dais.
