For many years, almost countless newsworthy events/activities have taken place within the East African arts and showbiz circuit but not much information about the same has been filtering beyond borders of the nine-country region. Ideally, nations that lie within East Africa’s banner include the Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi and the formerly Somalia. This scenario precipitated a situation wherein the region virtually does not seem to exist on the global showbiz map.

But we intend to prove otherwise and effectively serve as a window through which the world can peep into arts and entertainment events taking place within the region. We will offer weekly to monthly updates on latest information about events; performances; workshops; reviews on new music albums/CDs, book and film releases; video clips; a photographic gallery; art exhibitions; theatrical performances, artistes profiles and regular features on music, film, dance, theatre and the arts.

We hope to provide artists who have in the past faced the inability to expose their creativity to external markets beyond their respective countries borders with the opportunity to tell their stories. In the same vein, corporate companies and individuals who function within the showbiz realm can advertise their products on our site and get the rest of the world to explore and experience East Africa’s uncharted and untapped goldmine of showbiz potential.

www.showbizeastafrica.com seeks to offer unlimited information – in essence a previously non-existent gateway to sample a candid insight of East African showbiz and art scene.
