Choral Residency Program
Kinobe has scored and arranged beautiful traditional Ugandan songs for choral ensemble. A skilled teacher of Ugandan song and singing, he draws on his experience in African and world music to teach new techniques, styles, and compositions. He will provide written scores, mp3s of each part, and an mp3 with sample accompaniment. As time allows, Kinobe can add African dance steps, kalimba, or drum parts. You will also have the opportunity to purchase traditional Ugandan fabrics for your choir to wear on stage. This offering can be organized around a single workshop, or your ensemble/organization can develop a sophisticated project with support from Class Acts on Tour and Kinobe, geared toward a culminating performance of high artistic merit.

"I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much we enjoyed working with Kinobe. The group sounded fantastic on both African and traditional instruments and featured some pretty amazing vocal harmony. They took the time to describe the unique instruments that they used in performance and connected well with the audience.
Our Project Jericho youth had a fun time performing "Abataka" with Kinobe, and I appreciated Kinobe's comfort in working with youth. We are already talking about using them in the future. We wish you the best as they continue their tour. I'm sure audiences will continue to be impressed by the outstanding quality of Kinobe & Soul Beat Africa. Thank you!"
