Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>The 1st edition of the Balumuka Festival, created to be one of the strongholds of Angolan music, has been taking place since yesterday at Pal\u00e1cio de Ferro, in Luanda, with the participation of 20 groups from various parts of the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

The festival, which takes place from 10 am to 8 pm, was designed to be a celebration of Angolan culture, with concerts, exhibitions, forums, workshops and dance and music shows, informed yesterday the head of Onart, Jo\u00e3o Vig\u00e1rio, for whom the initiative will provide a gradual movement of the stage to traditional music, as it represents the Bantu cultural diversity and is a way of preserving the collective memory.<\/p>\n

For musician and researcher Jorge Mulumba, the Balumuka Festival, due to its complexity, will generate more knowledge about Angolan culture for visitors who attend the concerts.<\/p>\n

“It is an annual festival, but we will promote parallel concerts, with the first one already scheduled for next June, in Bengo”, emphasized Jorge Mulumba.<\/p>\n

As part of this edition’s program, tributes are to be paid to journalist Amaro Fonseca (posthumously) and to the radio program Balumuka, for their contribution to the enhancement and promotion of culture and social communication.<\/p>\n

The realization of this edition of the festival, explained Jorge Mulumba, emerges from the importance of contributing with another intervention platform, in favor of the appreciation and promotion of music and the various traditional Angolan instruments.<\/p>\n

The initiative arises from a joint partnership between musician and cultural researcher Jorge Mulumba and Producer Onart, following a work they have been developing since 2018 and aims to be a sheet of synergy combination through which artists, researchers, producers of instruments, academics, state institutions and society in general, can comprehensively and inclusively address the instruments and ancestral identity diversity.<\/p>\n
