Cultural Arts Center @ Tumaini University Makumira

IMG_1296.JPGThe Cultural Arts Center (CAC)  trip was impactful as the Tanzanian trio saw three different cultural dances performed by one of the only, if not the only, group of paid dancers in all of Tanzania. After this delightful hour of African dance, Randy gave us a tour of the compound.

The cultural dances has drum and synchronized dance movements and numbers together. It was quite impressive. And different. The tour of everything on the Cultural Arts Center’s campus was equally admirable.

Randy has been here for many years. He has been the driving force behind the CAC developing into what it is today. It has a music mixing room, a library that started with a handful of books, that now has well over a thousand volumes having to do with  all things music, a performing arts center, a conference building, and Maasae and other indigenous peoples traditional hut buildings on site. Remarkable place.
