Who is Imuka?
A Collection of Premiere East African Choir Members
The 30-person-choir is made up of highly talented musicians and dancers representing a dozen community groups from the northwestern shores of Lake Victoria. Imuka brings together not only rare singing techniques, electrifying choreography, hand drumming and multiple percussions, but also traditional dancing techniques that are adopted from the oldest East African folk songs and dances.
Imuka's purpose extends far beyond music, which, in Africa, has proven to be one of the most powerful tools in transforming people's lives socially, spiritually and economically. It was out of concern for the less fortunate members of their communities that Imuka Singers was born.
Imuka uses the energy and passion of the music to harness the values and dreams of East African people and encourages them to work together for self -sustaining economic development of their communities. Portions of all Imuka earnings go towards community health, education, and micro-enterprise initiatives to help partner communities in Bukoba. We are creating and using music to change lives!
