Maalesh Ntsobwe, one of the best known musician/song writer/performer of Comoros was in the forefront as his island showcased itself to passengers of a luxury cruiseliner in the Port of Moroni.
The show by Maalesh Ntsobwe reminded everyone that it is culture that remains the base for a lasting and sustainable tourism industry because when culture is amalgamated as part and parcel of the tourism industry it is the people who are in fact being brought to play their part. “Culture cannot exist if the population does not exist” Alain St.Ange said.
