Bayimba International Festival of the Arts

During the third week of September, Kampala comes alive as a vibrant and eventful city when an unparalleled feast of music, dance, theatre, film, and visual arts from renowned and upcoming artists are brought to Kampala. The 8th edition of the Bayimba International Festival of the Arts is scheduled from 18th to 20th September 2015 at the National Theatre in the city centre of Kampala. The Bayimba International Festival has developed into a major multi-arts festival with varied and qualitative programming, presenting exciting, innovative and creative ideas.

Hot on the heels of Sondeka, the Santuri crew will head directly to Kampala and Bayimba International Festival of the Arts. Returning for the 2nd year, expectations are high after an amazing week in October 2014, which saw many fantastic collaborations, not least with an experimental ‘circuit bending’ workshop co-hosted by the Goethe Institut.

This year will see Santuri arrive with a stellar line up of international guests, joining what is already a formidable Ugandan team. Santuri are delighted to welcome Auntie Flo (Brian de Souza) from the UK – a leading light of the UK’s African focussed electronic music scene. He’ll be joining Santuri regular and his production partner Esa Williams, along side Nonku – a phenomenal talent from Johannesburg.

The Ugandan team continue to go from strength to strength, and DJ Rachael and in particular has had an amazing year, which will culminate in her headlining the Bayimba main stage on Friday night.

More details soon!
