Room with a view



On Sunday, we met up with Doug Paterson, renowned East African music scholar and collector, and Ann Wanjie, editor of africanmusiciansprofiles.com in from London. Doug took us to his favorite viewing spot of Zanzibar, the Africa House, for some peaceful moments and watched the dhows cruising the Indian Ocean in the tropical breezes.
Our missing luggage returned, and we prepared for Virunga's performance at the festival that night.

Time out for a brief photo safari




And now a little tour of the picturesque, narrow winding lanes of Stone Town, in which I quickly became lost and disoriented, and had to be led back to the hotel by a Good Samaritan on a bicycle.
But it was wonderfully gratifying to see Samba's image plastered on the walls on the Sauti za Busara festival posters.
