Stone Town Records is a grassroots, locally run, music studio located in an intimate historic building in Stone Town. A lively community of artists living and breathing on our rooftop terrace, playing the oud, quanun, violin and other traditional taarab instruments, singing and rapping whilst fusing their cultural roots with the countless influences they are exposed to living on the beautiful island Zanzibar.
The vision of our Stone Town Records community is to empower the zanzibari music scene and their musicians by working closely with industry professionals from all around the world, learning and gathering knowledge, and then channelling it back to the local scene.
As a studio and label we offer quality production and recording facilities, event organisation, video and photo shootings as well as a creative hub where we regularly hold workshops and exchange ideas with fellow activists and musicians.
