Immerse yourself deep into the roots of Zanzibars cultureInside the beautiful building, in the patio, you will get to enjoy live music every night by 8pm.Local young professional musicians will create a magic atmosphere were you will navigate, dance and feel Zanzibars rhythms and melodies.By enjoying this gigs in Stone Town you are actually supporting the NGO that runs this project: empowering youth through music in Zanzibar.Personally, meeting the musicians was the best piece of my time in this island.hugs!

This is the only music academy in Zanzibar, promoting talented musicians and traditional musical styles from the region. The quality of performance is exceptional and the social impact of the academy is impressive. I strongly urge anyone visiting stone town to pay them a visit. Concerts are a couple of times a week at 8 pm.

We had the luck to be in Zanzibar on a Thursday night. This day they have a concert (10.000 chillings entry) in the last floor of the building. The music was just amazing, and you could see how passionate the musicians were. Is a rather small room so the concert was quite private.It was definitely one of the best things of my trip to Zanzibar and I would recommend checking their program for other concerts.

An amazing music school with a breathtaking view of the ocean. They often have concerts here so be sure to walk by and see what’s on for the week. Concerts are definitely worth checking out, beautiful loca Taraab music will give you a sense and feel of what Zanzibar truly really is. They also give classes, fun one to try out is the African drum classes.

I really enjoyed the performance of Taarab. It was great to see the artists perform and meet them after.I am very disappointed by the CD however. I wanted to support the project and art and bought it for10$; its just a burned CD and many songs are recorded in such poor quality that listening not very enjoyable.Go see their performance but stay away from their CD!

Walking along the promenade, we learned about the concert. They are held in a different style about 3-4 times a week. Always at 20:00, admission is cheap - $ 5, duration 2 hours.Highly recommend! Take a drink with you and go up to the 3rd floor. Come on time, otherwise there may not be enough good places, the room is small.I enjoyed every tune, song that was so new to my ears. Such unusual, distinctive, colorful.
