Description

MuDa is short for Music and Dance, and also means " time" in Swahili. Muda Africa seeks to integrate a contemporary, urban modern Africa with traditional knowledge and wisdoms, a circular understanding of time that represents the present with firm roots in the past and a clear understanding of the way forward into the future. The concept of time also alludes to movement, rhythm and space – all integral aspects of both music and dance.
