We at Zimbuya are thrilled to announce our partnership with Mbira Urban Trust, a dynamic nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Mbira culture in Zimbabwe and beyond. As champions of African arts and heritage, we are delighted to join forces with Mbira Urban Trust to further our shared mission of celebrating and nurturing cultural diversity.

Mbira Urban Trust, a collective of Mbira enthusiasts and advocates, embodies a commitment to cultural preservation, artist empowerment, and community well-being. Their multifaceted approach includes initiatives such as Mbira lessons and workshops, events management, research publications, fundraising efforts, and support groups aimed at fostering the personal development and financial stability of Mbira artists.
Through our partnership with Mbira Urban Trust, Zimbuya aims to expand the reach and impact of our endeavors in Indianapolis and beyond. By collaborating on projects that promote cultural exchange, socio-economic empowerment, and holistic well-being, we aspire to create meaningful connections between communities in Zimbabwe and the United States.

At Zimbuya, we believe that cultural diversity is a source of strength and enrichment. By embracing Mbira culture and partnering with Mbira Urban Trust, we are not only celebrating Zimbabwe's rich musical heritage but also fostering greater cross-cultural understanding and appreciation within our community. 

Together with Mbira Urban Trust, we are excited to embark on a journey of collaboration, creativity, and cultural exchange. Through our combined efforts, we hope to create a lasting impact that transcends borders, bringing people together through the universal language of music and art.
