Bwagamoyo Afri-Culture Drumming and Dance is a professional traditional music and dance from Tanzania. They began their career in 2005, drawing inspiration from the traditional music of Tanzanian tribes as well as other African tribes from Eastern, Western, and Southern regions. Their music is characterized by driving, syncopated rhythms that create an irresistible urge to dance.
Afri-Culture's music incorporates elements of Traditional Folk, Pop/Dance, and World Music. Their sound is a fusion of different styles, resulting in a unique blend of good-time music that is deeply rooted in culture, community, and environmental consciousness.
The group takes influence from various Tanzanian tribes such as Sukuma, Makonde, Pogoro, Gogo, Hehe, Nyakyusa, and Wasafa. These tribal influences contribute to the creative rhythms and dancing movements showcased in their performances.
