Mzuka Records

Mzuka Records, Art in Tanzania’s record label, supports Tanzanian artists and musicians in their struggles to make their dreams possible. Mzuka Records nurtures talent and encourages all musicians to speak out about important issues facing today’s youth.

Musicians can record and practice at their studio in Bahari Beach, Dar es Salaam. They also provide PA systems for live performances, and music marketing and promotion for undiscovered artists.

They host talent shows throughout Tanzania to discover new acts. They give opportunities to those that otherwise would not have had them, such as street children, orphans and young people in remote villages.

Most schools in Tanzania do not offer any training in music or the arts. Mzuka Records has become part of the local community by providing music education programmes to as many students as possible.

Art in Tanzania believes that music enables artists to truly express themselves. Music also clearly communicates messages about pressing Tanzanian social issues such as HIV/AIDS and poverty. They are proud of all the artists that have now found success with their assistance and are grateful to the volunteers and interns in the music sector who have helped them to achieve so much. Volunteering and internships with Tanzanian artists in music and arts sector is a life lasting experience.
