SPIRIT OF UGANDA
“Invigorating the stage with that elusive thing called joy.”
- The New York Times
With melodic drumming, dramatic choreography, bright, layered rhythms and gorgeous vocals, a vibrant cast of performers bring to life the sounds and movements of East Africa. Spirit of Uganda celebrates the cultural roots and newest trends of this lush and diverse nation. Ambassadors for Uganda's 2.4 million orphans, these young performers personify the resilience and promise of Africa's next generation as they promote awareness of Uganda's dual crises of AIDS and civil war, and raise funds to support themselves and others in their homeland.
“Young, proud, and marvelously spirited musicians and dancers. Whatever these performers do, in whatever different bright attire, they do with discipline, fervor, and joy.... The pounding feet and agile bodies, the drums and vibrant human voices all send a message - one of courage and hope.”
- Village Voice
