Umoja - The Spirit of Togetherness

Umoja - The Spirit of TogethernessT1207023553
Umoja is a pulsating musical celebration of South African song and dance. From the potent rhythms of tribal music to the intricate steps of gumboot dancing, the jazz of Sophiatown, the joy of gospel and the pounding energy of contemporary kwaito. Umoja, meaning ?togetherness' in Zulu, unites 30 singers, dancers, drummers, marimba players and musicians, who represent the best of South Africa's young performers, many of whom come from severely disadvantaged township backgrounds. The show enjoyed two astonishingly popular runs in the West End after its premiere in 2000 and has gone on to be seen by over four million people worldwide since then. .

USER (01Dec01): Umoja is an amazing show. You must see it! The cast is impressive in its performance and energy, they will make you stand up and dance in the auditorium, you will rush to buy the cd and will come back because once is not enough. 5
