For many young performers, Mala Majo is a launching pad. It inspires them to dream bigger, work harder, and stay grounded in their roots. Over the years, the festival has been a powerful reminder that art can build bridges, spark awareness, and uplift communities.

This year’s edition promises to be no different, with African Dance Rhythms lighting up the stage alongside other talented acts, audiences can expect a cultural spectacle like no other.
