Rumbafrica
 
Bianca Golden

Rumbafrica was founded in 1992 by Tshibangu Kadima, who was born in Lubumbashi in Congo.  Kadima came to the U.S. originally to study Computer Engineering and graduated from Northeastern University.  He introduced New England to SOUKOUS music.  The Boston-based group performs music and dance combining rhythms of traditional Congolese rumba (a variant of the Cuban rumba) with the modern non-stop soukous beat.  Kadima composes and writes the troupe’s songs and choreographs their dance.  Their repertoire includes songs in French, Swahili, Tshiluba and English and reflects Kadima’s hopeful vision of life and his prayer for positive change in Congo.  Kadima songs convey a message of peace.  He conducts entertaining and educational workshops in schools and universities around the country.  He incorporates music and dances in various FASHION SHOWS taking place in USA.


Rumbafrica is the Boston area’s premier dance band and has received numerous awards including the Boston Music Awards for Outstanding World Music Act in 1995 and an Award at Artscap 97 Festival in Baltimore MD for Outstanding World Music Act.  What is NEW is that on November 15, 2014 RUMBAFRICA band leader "TSHIBANGU KADIMA" received the OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE IN ART, (INDIVIDUAL) from the CONGOLESE BOSTON GALA.

Eating insects is nothing new – but it’s also the future. Still, many of us find it disgusting.

We are in mission to find out more – Exotic AfroFood is helping the community to discover what Africa and Asia enjoy already. Share our curiosity and join us in exploring a taste of insects!

 

Grasshoppers are a crunchy, delicious treat enjoyed around the world in countries like Ghana, China, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Tanzania, Cameroon, Kenya and Zambia Just one grasshopper contains 6 grams (0.21 oz) of protein and many people think the world should harvest more insects to help people in need of healthy, nourishing meals.   As long as you cook your grasshoppers, whether boiling or frying them, they will

be safe to eat and ready in minutes.

 

 

Cooking grasshoppers will keep you safe and will kill any parasites that they might be carrying. Don't attempt to eat them raw or you may suffer health issues. Remove the legs

and wings. The legs of grasshoppers aren't edible; although you won't be hurt from eating them, it's best to remove them before you begin to cook them.
