A completed application form
One or two recent recordings (CD, DVD, or MP3)

You can submit an application form online or by letter. Please include a short biography (max 1000 words). You can send material by email, BUT please limit total attachments to 5MB. You can also send material to our office by post (see www.busaramusic.org for address).

For artists performing in the Festival or participating in workshops, the Festival usually pays a modest performance fee and covers expenses in Zanzibar, including local travel, accommodation, food and other incidentals. Artists from outside the region will usually have to find their own travel sponsors.
