In the second hour, J4 and Amal phone Tanzania to speak to Dave Tinning of Sauti za Busara festival (13 to 16 February in Zanzibar, Tanzania). He talks about a new addition to this year’s festival: the Santuri Safari program in which deejays from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Germany (including Tendwa, St Evo and the Teichmann brothers who were on the BLNRB compilation) play the festival afterparties and participate in workshops looking at ways to integrate regional musical traditions into their music, and selling these productions to an international audience. Dave is also the coordinator of the Tanzania Heritage Project which is in the process of digitizing the huge musical archive of Tanzania’s state owned Radio Tanzania (now TBC) and together with Africanhiphop.com he is working on reissuing early 70s funk/soul music from Tanzania.
