As the musical week ended, students were fortunate to preview a live African musical presentation performed by the Zulu Tribe Dancers. Although the African dancers live in Birmingham, each one is a native of South Africa. The dancers shared stories of their culture, explained why Africa is important, demonstrated rituals through dance and chants and reminded the students of the importance of staying in school and receiving an education. Students were exposed to original African languages (they have 36 languages and English is one of the languages) and dialect as the performers allowed students to repeat alphabets in their native language. The performers also shared why they were/are considered the most powerful tribe in Africa and how their Warrior Leader Shaku Zulu assisted them in becoming powerful.
