After six flights and over 36 hours in the air I'm back in New York City from Sauti Za Busara Festival in Zanzibar, Tanzania where I was performing with Omega Okello's band. The setting was enchanting: artists from across the African continent performed on the grounds of the Old Arab Fort in Stonetown (a UNESCO World Heritage site originally built in 1560) under the open sky. Omega's set was well received by the packed crowd of locals and tourists; and the international band featured Andre Manga from Cameroon on bass, Uli G from Germany on keys, Andrew Reissiger from the U.S.A. on guitar, and myself on drums. I'll be posting photos from the festival in the next few days.
