This year, Busara Promotions premieres the Santuri Safari, a new project that focuses on the innovative role of the DJ in promoting and sharing music in East Africa.

East African DJs are radio broadcasters, club performers, cultural connectors, community representatives, and artists. They are curators for youth culture and serve as important voices for their own communities and beyond. DJs play a pivotal role in modern cultural expression and can help build bridges between generations and musical styles.

During Sauti za Busara 2014, we're bringing together DJs, producers, and other music industry professionals to kickstart a new movement in electronic music with strong cultural identity, rooted in the East Africa region.

Celebrating and promoting the connection of African music to DJ culture, the Santuri Safari provides plenty of chances to get your groove on to some of the hottest DJs in the region – and the world!
