The Zanzibar government will continue
to honour the renowned taarab genre artist, the late Siti Binti Saad,
for her enormous contributions in promoting Zanzibar worldwide through
her tantalizing music talent.
This was said by Zanzibar President Ali Mohamed Shein at a ceremony to inaugurate the Institute of Activist Siti Binti Saad held at Bwawani Hotel on Tuesday evening.
President Shein said that the institute honours the late artist and promotes the great work she did, which has greatly promoted the country and its rich history.
He described the late Binti Saad as a shining light, which has always lit up Zanzibar, saying further that her skills in promoting the country's culture will always be cherished. President Shein called on other artists to learn the work done by Binti Saad.
The president said that in order for the work of art to be nice and attractive to many people, it requires creativity and discipline of its kind.
He said that creativity and discipline are two things which go together in a work of art, especially in taarab music, and when one of it misses artistic work will not go well.
"I must insist so much in creativity in our work of art, because creativity and discipline bring attractiveness," he said. He added: "In taarab, everyone is attracted in different ways... there are those who are attracted by the voice, rhythm, stanza and even the artist's appearance."
He further said that taarab music requires great patience as shown by the late Binti Saad considering that there is no easy task in this world.
"Taarab needs tolerance because the beginning of anything is always difficult and there is no easy task. So it is a must for a person to struggle in the same way Binti Saad did. She never gave up and was always eager to learn new things," said president Shein.
He also emphasized on the need for artists to seek and attain further education, saying education was the basis of development that will assist them a lot in bringing efficiency to their lives.
