Description

The Spirit of Togetherness is a pulsating musical celebration of South African song and dance. From the potent rhythms of tribal music to the intricate steps of gumboot dancing; from the foot stomping jazz of Sophiatown to the inspirational full-throated joy of Gospel; and the powerful pounding energy of Kwaito and Pantsula. With a cast of 40 of South Africa 's brightest and most versatile young performers, singers, dancers, drummers and marimba players, UMOJA - The Spirit of Togetherness is a joyous celebration of dynamic talent, thrilling energy, great voices and sensual dancing sweeping across the bright and vibrant South African traditional musical landscape.

The event is part of the Kypria International Festival 2009.
