At Kutandara Center, we believe that our music inspires, transforms, and connects us to each other and our world.

Because we believe this, we commit to -  

• Seeking opportunities for others to share these experiences
• Honoring the traditions that create and sustain this music
• Using our collective gifts and talents to grow these experiences in new ways
• Connecting those around us to the peoples and cultures of Southern Africa
• Collaborating with others as we create communities around this music
• Recognizing and building the interdependence of the members of our community
• Engaging others in our success and honoring their commitment to us and to each other
