Sauti za Busara: Saturday

Saturday looks set to be a gigantic musical feast again at Sauti za Busara. The aural goodness kicks off at the Old Fort at 4.30pm with Zanzibar's Skuli ya Kiongoni, a talented group of young performers from Makunduchi in the south-east of the island.

Up next is Juhudi Taarab at 4.55pm. This taarab group was founded over 70 years ago and members hail from Pemba, the northern island in the Zanzibar archipelago.

At 6pm, Tunaweza finally get the chance to play after losing their slot at 2011's festival due to a freak cyclone. This band of mainly disabled performers chose the name Tunaweza, which means "we can do it".

If you are a music professional you should attend the seminar on building markets for African music at Monsoon restaurant at 3pm, where industry types will be discussing methods of raising the profile of the continent's talent and making money from it.

Uganda's Ndere Troupe play at 7pm - this group performs all over Uganda and promotes peace and cultural understanding, as well as soothing their audience with the endere (flute). Meanwhile you can check out music videos next door in the amphitheathre, or listen to acoustic taarab from 7.30pm at Monsoon restaurant.

At 8.20pm the Jembe Culture Group from Tanzania will play a mix of Swahili sounds and traditional instruments of the Gogo tribe, from Dodoma in the central region of Tanzania.

In the amphitheatre more music videos will be showing - the latest bongo flava, soul, hip hop, pop and more from the East African region. This will be followed by Burger Highlife Explosion, a film exploration of how Ghanaian highlife fused with German musical styles to make a new sound and scene. Over at Mercury's restaurant the Coconut Band will be playing from 8.30pm as part of the Busara Xtra programme.

Sudan's Camirata Group will give their second performance of the festival at 9.25pm, showcasing song and dance from across the country and from South Sudan.

At 10.30pm, Nneka - probably the biggest star at this year's festival - will perform. From Nigeria, Nneka blends a knack for accessible soulful pop with social and political content, reflecting on the realities of life in Africa in the 21st century.

Following on from Nneka is a double bill of mchiriku from Dar Es Salaam. Jagwa Music and Seven Survivor (the latter dealing with the tragic loss of band leader and spokesman Juma Mpogo just before the festival) both come from similar scenes, playing a raw, edgy fusion style on old keyboards and DIY instruments with a rag-tag band of performers, bringing the energy of the suburbs of the city to the Busara stage.
