"Invigorating the stage with that elusive thing called joy" (New York Times), Spirit of Uganda presents riveting programs of music and dance for audiences of all ages. To the melodic tones of standing drums, with dramatic choreography, bright, layered rhythms, and gorgeous call-and-response vocals, a vibrant cast of performers, aged 8-18, bring to life the sounds and movements of East Africa. With Artistic Director Peter Kasule as Master of Ceremonies, Spirit of Uganda celebrates the cultural roots and newer offshoots of this lush and diverse nation. Ambassadors for Uganda's 2.4 million orphans, these children personify the resilience and promise of Africa's next generation as they promote awareness of Uganda's dual crises of AIDS and civil war, and raise funds to support themselves and others displaced in their homeland. "Young, proud, and marvelously spirited musicians and dancers. Whatever these performers do, in whatever different bright attire, they do with discipline, fervor, and joy. The pounding feet and agile bodies, the drums and vibrant human voices all send a message - one of courage and hope." -Village Voice
