Description
Chihamba Dancescape Ltd was founded on September 11, 1989, with a vision to celebrate African American culture and heritage in the Charlottesville, Virginia area. Inspired by events such as the 1988 Fredericksburg Black Arts Festival and Charlottesville’s 1984 and 1985 Sol Fest, our founders, led by Baba Jamal Koram, created an organization dedicated to teaching, inspiring, and uplifting the community. Chihamba’s mission builds upon the powerful traditions of West African music, dance, and storytelling to foster cultural pride and understanding.
