Umoja

UMOJA students and crew having fun while repping their country flags. 

A night of celebrating African culture. UMOJA will be culminating our AMKA week with a cruise with Spirit of Ethan Allen Cruise. We all also be joined by a local R&B/HipHop artist Manny Valentine from NYC. 

In this concert, the Middlebury Afropop Band performs original compositions and arrangements of classic and contemporary popular songs from all over Africa. The band uses pop and rock instrumentation as well as styles that blend traditional African with Western and/or Afro-diasporic musical idioms. The group’s performance highlights the dynamic, communal, and interactive nature of African societies. 

Join us for a night of celebrating music from Africa and the African diaspora in our final event of the Middlebury Africa Conference.
