“Pamoja” in Swahili stands for “unity”.
Pamoja Zanzibar is the concept by Radek Bond Bednarz, musician and producer, founder of Eklektik Session international platform. The first Pamoja Zanzibar Festival took place in July 2021 and presented interactions between African and European artists. The spectacular idea of unity and diversity was also a great opportunity to explore Zanzibar's Swahili culture, the result of a fusion of African, Asian and European influences.
The second Pamoja Zanzibar Festival will be touring Tanzania and Zanzibar between 20-27 March 2022 , focusing on traditional Tanzanian Gogo tribe music represented by Sinaubi Zawose of the Zawose music family. Sinaubi carries on the legacy of his world acclaimed father Hukwe Zawose and is planning to come for the very first time to perform Europe later this year. But first SINAUBI ZAWOSE & PAMOJA ZANZIBAR featuring finest Polish and Tanzanian musicians will come together and tour mainland Tanzania/Zanzibar, so don't miss and bring your dancing shoes !!!
