Hailing from Tanzania, ZUZU African Acrobats celebrate the 2,000-year-old Bantu culture of East Africa. Each member of the cast has received special instructions from elders in the Bagamoyo Arts and Cultural Institute to perform these ancient traditions to audiences around the world. Bringing modern art, culture and passion with them. Everywhere they go, ZUZU celebrates their niche culture of Dar Es Salaam through jaw-dropping acrobatics, live music, singing, dancing and more.
Some of the highlights of this training include proficiency with the ngoma (drum), contortion (ubishi wa solo), dish spinning (sahani inazunguka), chair balance (kusawazisha kiti), unicycle and bicycle tricks (baiskeli), human pyramids (mazoezi ya viungo) and much more all to the sounds of African beats. The grace, beauty and strength of Africa stands as living testimony presented through living human art and entertainment.
