Kwanzaa is an African American Holiday celebrated from the 26th of December to the 1st of January. WorldBeat Center will be celebrating 5 of the 7 days of Kwanzaa with Master of Ceremonies, TUKUFU KALONJI. Kwanzaa is based on the agricultural celebrations of Africa called “the first-fruits” celebrations which were times of harvest, in gathering, reverence, commemoration, re-commitment and celebration.

Kwanzaa is a celebration that has its roots in the black nationalist movement of the 1960s, and was established as a means to help African Americans reconnect with their African cultural and historical heritage by uniting in meditation and study of African traditions and Nguzu Saba, the “seven principles of African Heritage” which Karenga said “is a communitarian African philosophy”
