The Ngoma at Maji ya Chai

Simon, Sherryn and I went to a youth education centre for Tanzanians who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity and checked out the performance to see if I could invite them to St Judes for Culture Day. They played drums, danced and sang in many different traditional styles. It was excellent!!

Setting up the drums after warming them near a fire to tune them.



It's difficult to see the awesome costumes as it was quite dark up there in the rainy mountains... and freezing!

Me joining in with one of the dancers.
The group is coming to perform tomorrow at Culture Day at school... for half price!
