Nzinga's Daughters

  • C

    CT

Institution/Business Type: Performing Group

They will take you from slavery to freedom with traditional African songs, a cappella plantation songs and stories. They'll show you how enslaved blacks, free blacks and white abolitionists created codes, signs and signals, committed to memory and passed them by word of mouth, leading to the Underground Railroad. Nzinga's Daughters adapt their program to fit many venues. They also provide educational workshop, team building activities and diversity workshops. They perform for groups all ages large and small. Ask them about their R&B and Gospel groups. They love to design performances and programs around your needs.
