“Festivals invigorate young people’s interest in local culture, give opportunities for artists and music professionals to meet and learn from each other, keep traditions alive, create employment for local people and promote Zanzibar as a model for responsible tourism, that honours and respects local culture.”
“Hutoa nafasi kwa wasanii na wataalam wa muziki kukutana na kujifunza, kuendeleza utamaduni, kutengeneza ajira kwa wenyeji na kuitangaza Zanzibar kama kitovu cha utalii, kuheshimu na kuthamini tamaduni za wenyeji”
