Kwanzaa Program

The African-American Cultural Celebration of Kwanzaa was conceived by Dr. Maulana Karenga and first held in the City of Los Angeles, 1966. The holiday is a synthesis of Continental African worldviews and concepts associated with harvest festivals and their traditional relationship with Africans throughout the world.

Baba has been performing and presenting at Kwanzaa Celebrations for more than 15 years. His experience as an artist is matched by his passion for exposing audiences to a diversity of worldviews.

The program is titled: 7 days / 7 principles / 7 Symbols

Its’ creative foundation is the Nguzo Saba or “Seven Principles” which are:

Umoja (Unity)
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)
Ujima (Collective Work & Responsibility)
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
Nia (Purpose)
Kuumba (Creativity)
Imani (Faith)

Baba fuses music with stories and a little history to bring to life the meaning of this cultural phenomena. You will be inner-attained with learning the depth and beauty of African Cultures.
