In class this week, with a focus on Tanzania, starting with a jumping game from the Wagogo, an intensely musical ethnic and linguistic group from the center of the country.
(“Cibula, aye, cibula…MATU!“) We can’t wait to actually travel to East Africa to attend the Chamwino Ngoma Festival — formerly the Wagogo Music Festiva — and hop, dance and cheer all our Tanzanian friends. Enjoy some Wagogo “mass singing” from the 2011 festival.
