Stone Town of Zanzibar aka Mji Mkongwe, is the old part of Zanzibar City, in Tanzania. It is located on the western coast of Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar Archipelag.
In their latest video, visual media platform For Africans By Africans (FABA) offers a sneak peek into the gorgeous “Sights and Sounds” of Stone Town, Zanzibar.
The video series, which was created by the platform to “document daily living in various African cities,” was launched back in March with an intimate video portrait of Abidjan. “Sight and Sounds: Stone Town” follows in the series’ highlights the city’s buoyant local atmosphere.
In the video, viewers are taken around the island’s main city, that showcases its rich historical architecture, musical culture and, of course, its famous physical beauty. “Capturing a town as culturally rich as Stone Town fits into our mission of cultural preservation as the town is being pressured into urban development,” says FABA founder Chika Okoli.
