All-Ages Shona Songs & Marimba Workshop

Mauya Mauya!

All-ages Songs, Language & Story workshop w. Kanukai & chinyakare ensemble

Join us for an intergenerational ACK Family Pop Up rooted in nhaka yechivanhu, the living traditions passed down through song, language, and story. This gathering invites children, caregivers, and community members to come together in a participatory space where culture is learned by doing.

Families will explore the ChiShona language from Zimbabwe through music and movement, learn simple language phrases, sing traditional Shona songs, and be introduced to the marimba, learning basic rhythms and songs while understanding its cultural significance as an instrument of memory, connection, and prayer.

All ages welcome. No prior experience needed, just come ready to learn, share, and be in community.
