Kubatana & the Moringa Dancers are a high energy Wellington based drum and dance ensemble, who have recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary. We have come together through a shared passion for the collaboration of live music and expressive movement. The rhythm of life is in the pulse of the drums. We will get you rocking with some uplifting West African inspired rhythms and dance that will make your spirit soar. Kubatana means UNITY in the Shona language. A Moringa is a vessel bringing precious water to dry places. This group comes from all walks of life, but when we play together as a group, we become one, and unity, for us, is what drumming & dance are all about. We perform with respect and gratitude to our indigenous teachers and the cultures the rhythms and movements we love originate from. We are a multicultural group with members from across the globe including the UK, Brazil, US, Mexico, France, Spain, Canada, and NZ.
