Join us for a transformative journey to Congo-Brazzaville. A 10-day program of workshops, traditional performances, and guided experiences led by local and international master artists.
Each day of Embrace Kongo is themed around a specific ethnic group or cultural tradition—such as Bakongo or Makwa (Kingoli). The music, dance, instruments, stories, and teachings throughout the day are connected to that tradition.
Daily classes in traditional dance, Ngoma rhythms, and songs, led by master artists.
Explore Kongolese cuisine, the people, ingredients, and practices behind each dish.
Experience historic landmarks, artisan marketplaces, and vibrant local communities.
