Rooted in a mystic Island in the Indian Ocean, carrying infuences from ancient Arab, Turkish, Indian and African musical traditions whilst fusing them with contemporary music from Jazz to Funk to Reggae and beyond, Siti & The Band are the rising stars from the East African region presenting a virtuous live show sparked with female centered empowering messages.

I have been watching them play over the last several months and their progress is
stunning. Siti and the Band are a group of musicians who know what they are doing
and who are doing it well. Remembering the past and facing the present without fear
is the only way tradition can remain vibrant. The music of Siti and the Band puts this
idea into action. – Adrian Podgorny, Former Director – Dhow Countries Music Academy, Zanzibar

With unique instrumentation – including Violin, Qanun & Oud. Siti & The Band is carrying the torch of classical Zanzibari music by giving new life to the traditional sounds. In their frst album they fuse their African roots with Western and Indian Ocean infuences.

Their frst album, “Fusing the Roots” is recorded evidence of the timelessness of Zanzibar’s traditional and contemporary music. The high quality recording, empowering lyrics and unique musical compositions of the album have beautifully entangled contemporary rhythms with Zanzibar’s most loved classical genre.
