Ngoma Vuma Afrika Setswana Dance @ SOAS Concert Series

Ngoma Vuma Afrika is a percussion group based at the Music Department of the North-West University in South Africa. Ngoma is both a Swahili (East & Central Africa) and a Xhosa and Zulu (South Africa) word that means drum, dance, music or rhythm. Vuma means agreement, so the groups name may be translated as African drums of agreement, reflecting the importance of the communal spirit in African musical performance. The group performs a mixed repertoire from East, Central and Southern Africa, as well as some high energy dances.
