It is always a very good sign when we get to record a group of young performers. It means the music is alive and well in the community. Umuny Jubi Ite Yaa are a young group of musicians featuring dancers, drummers and the Uvure, a wonderful horn. #uvure #youngmusicians #uganda

TAKE ACTION: Philadelphia’s arts & culture sector needs immediate support to keep their #LightsON! Contact City Council NOW to stand with the orgs + groups in our communities who are most impacted by shutdowns. #PhillyCultureUnited @philaculture
