Extra Bongo (Tanzania) & Super Nyamwela / ndombolo
The special guest of Fest Afrika 2012 is Extra Bongo from Tanzania (watch on YouTube) – for the first time in Finland! The band was established in 2003 and has since become popular all over East Africa. Extra Bongo combines traditional melodies to urban dance music in ndombolo style.
Extra Bongo will perform on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, see program.
There will also be a ndombolo dance workshop by Super Nyamwela, probably the most famous Tanzanian dancer and choreographer, to get everyone ready for the Extra Bongo groove!
