LOCAL based Global Inspirational Music has organised a Peace Festival to be held in Lindi region on August 3. The festival aims at encouraging and educating the public on the importance of maintaining peace in the country.

Global Inspiration Music Executive Director, Nesto Msalasye, said on Thursday that the festival would take place at Rahaleo Primary School’s grounds. He further said that they were planning to stage the festival in each region in the country to promote peace through conferences, music and public rallies.

Msalasye said his company has been forced to organise the festival following recent incidents that threatened to breach peace and tranquillity in the county. He said the indications of breaching peace have been evident through various statements issued by some individuals, as well as events which have been happening in different corners of the country.

Meanwhile, the Akudo Impact Rapper Totoo Zebingwa is expected to launch his new album tomorrow evening at Diamond Jubilee hall. Speaking to reporters yesterday, Totoo Zebingwa said that his album dubbed ‘Hii Mambo Haieleweki’ consists of eight tracks.

He named some of the songs included in the album as ‘Amekubalika,’ ‘Jamani,’ ‘Hii Mambo Haieleweki,’ ‘Ombi la Dunia’ and ‘Sina neno Jingine.’

The launching of the album would also be accompanied by the performance from Kenyan artis Sharama as well as Tanzanian high profile artists like 20 Per cent, Zola-D and Benjamin Wa Mambo Jambo.
