As always, 100% of festival proceeds go directly to supporting artists and funding our annual traditional music festival in Kayanza, Burundi. Last year, we raised $1,000 to host the first-ever cultural music festival in Kayanza, which brought together over 300 attendees and 56 musicians, including youth groups, who were compensated to keep their traditions alive. This year, we have begun building the Air Tanganyika Library for African Music and Art in Burundi, a space to repatriate and preserve our growing African Music Archives of African Music and our expansive African art collection. We need your support to make this all possible—donate today and be part of this powerful movement.
