The Marimba Jam Festival is our main annual performance concert in the year. It is an opportunity for all of our students to perform in a formal evening concert setting. The festival also serves as our main fundraiser for our Rising Stars program, allowing us to keep these lessons sustainable each year.

This event demonstrates our vision of social-cohesion and nation building, by bringing learners together across the socio-economic barriers that divide them. The focus of our festival are our mass-items where all of our students play one song together on one stage.

Starting in 2016 as an evening picnic concert for our students, the event has grown over the years to include music workshops, educational talks and panel-discussions to educate and empower the youth in the Marimba Jam community.

The program that runs before the evening concert is a mixture of on-stage rehearsals as well as a variety of workshop sessions. Our jammers can look forward to exciting drumming, dancing and other African Music educational activities. These sessions allow our students to delve deeper into their understanding and engagement with African music.

We are so excited that we are able to put on this live concert event again, having been unable during 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
