• At sunset in the streets of the ancient old town, the musical clubs of Zanzibar buzz with the joyful sounds of Taarab, the local music. Its style reflects two millennia of cultural exchange and the island's place at the crossroads of the spice route
• This beautifully filmed documentary immerses us in the colour, warmth and diversity of Zanzibar's little known Muslim culture and the Taarab poets - cultural custodians of a dynamic musical heritage that must assert itself in the face of tourism and economic change.
• Featuring: Amina, Juma Abdallah, Zein, L'Abdin, Makami Faki, Rukia Ramdhani, Bi Kidude, Mohamed Bwana, Mohamed Hamed, le Culture Musical Club
