The Songo Drumming Project are supporting local composer-performer Da Vida unites with renowned South African singer Joyce Moholoagae in a dramatic evening of music, words and video.
‘City’ is a journey of struggle and resolution, a potent celebration of difference and diversity, an exploration of identity.
Acoustic and electric instruments, African voices and drums, integrated with digital technologies, weave material both challenging and eclectic.

The Songo Drumming Project has been busy in the area, particularly celebrating Black History Month.
The community comes together to all have a good time in a total random fashion occasionally but sometimes it needs just a little nudge!
Our very own Tsongesai and his friends in the Harehills/Burmantofts area helped to put on an African awareness event featuring member of the Songo and many others.

A Fantastic Festival of Fun
The Anglers Club in Harehills, Leeds was the venue for our World Music Fest. Non-stop music and dancing featuring local performers showing the amazing cultural diversity we have in the Leeds area from all around the World.
The day started off with the Songo Drumming Project giving everyone a welcoming drum call at the entrance where a few new drumming stars got to try their hand at some of the instruments.
There were gig drums, small drums, djembes, congas and a special type of African xylophone called a BALAFON.

As part of Refugee Week and celebrating the Olympic Torch arriving in Leeds
Songo are playing mid afternoon at a venue at the top of Scott Hall Road just down from the Leisure Centre. Don't know exactly where and I hope we'll be under shelter if it's raining!
