Harare Dread & Tumaini

By Sarafina Kantharia on 26 Nov 2011

With the opening of our new textiles department, the children are already making headlines as a set of tailored costumes for HARARE DREAD travelled to Brazil to accompany the artist and his band during the first performance of Pax Nindi’s Povo song at Pernambuco’s popular Cena Festival in North East Brazil. Povo is the title song of Pax new album.

Pax Nindi aka HARARE DREAD is the Master of Roots African Reggae and an international renowed carnival guru, musician, journalist, consultant and cultural ambassador.

He is a strong supporter and friend to the Tumaini kids and was so inspired and touched by the children’s musical talent and energetic performances that he requested the same set of Freedom Flag Costumes to be made for his band to wear on their brazilian tour!

We hope to collaborate more with Pax in the coming years as he helps us to fly the flag high for Tumaini! Watch Video

I have worked with the children for seven years and never seen them so happy He invited them to his concert and they still ask when he come to Brazil again. Thank you for showing the picture of your kids. Pax told us about them.You are very lucky, our children want to see Pax again. We love Pax he is spiritual and listen to his Povo album all the time Obrigado Marcelo

I have looked at your website and now understand what Pax was meaning when he said on stage "This song is for children especially the ones in Tumaini!" I still remember that and he told us they make the shirts. Peace and love to all the kids in Kenya from Brazil!!
