We are not just playing music we are introducing new concepts and ideas and ways of working together.”

Okavango African Orchestra brings together the traditional music and instruments of several major African cultures, to create a common meeting place and a new musical language that harmonizes different tuning systems, rhythms, and timbres. Okavango represent a continuum of traditions and cultures from time immemorial to the present day.Okavango African Orchestra looks ahead on its continuing journey to an “Africa without borders… before the borders were created”.
