Sharjah24: Bright smiles, rhythmic steps, and electrifying energy filled the air as the Masaka Kids Africana took centre stage at the Sharjah Festival of African Literature. This talented group of Ugandan children captivated the audience with their signature vibrant dances and heartwarming performances, setting the celebration stage alight. Harmonising the beats of African drums with their typical joyful and fluid movement, the ensemble drew applause and cheers from a crowd of all ages.
Performing hits like One Day and Habibi, Masaka Kids Africana brought the people in the audience together, transcending cultural and linguistic boundaries. Children in the audience joined their dances, while adults were equally moved by the energy of the troupe.
Founded in 2014, the Masaka Kids Africana ensemble emerged as a non-profit platform transforming the lives of children impacted by wars, famine, and disease. Many members have lost one or both parents and found solace in music and dance. With their motto, “Dance, Rise, and Shine,” they combine artistry with social impact, supporting children’s education and welfare while spreading joy worldwide through their performances.
