FOLKLORE COMMUNITY

The Folklore Community, is a culture and heritage platform that seeks to use the technology of music fused with various artforms, to capture, document and preserve our folklore.

The community comes together for 2 kinds of events: Folklore For Kids and Folklore Firesides, the latter hosting indigenous knowledge share conversations for adults.

This year during heritage month, we are launching the Folklore Festival, which is the coming together of these two events headlined by a music concert, bringing together 7 artists from 5 different African countries to celebrate Heritage Month.
