The Audience Participation

In order to truly experience the musical stylings of this one-of-a-kind artist, it is highly encouraged that you come prepared to sing along. Singing helps immerse yourself in the music. By singing along, you are able to remember lyrics long after leaving the performance and develop a deeper connection to the song as you know all of the words (or most!). It’s not just about enjoying Music title Ku Tafa’s songs. It is about being fully present in the moment and participating with this stunning artist from start to finish.


Tips for Kids

When you think of popular Sudanese music, it’s likely the first type of music to come to mind is what's known as Makahang. The term Makahang derives from a word that in English means doers. And who does more than average Sudanese? Fishermen! But, this broad category also includes other styles such as Mi'tarija, Rabaaba'i, Mawaweer and Gaseet. Music title Ku Tafa features all these different types of music and so much more. 

The name Music title Ku Tafa means I’ll be there for you in the Hausa language of Borno State – the language which was most commonly spoken by Nigeria until about the seventh century CE.


How you can get more out of the show
