2023 Spring Concert: Dream with the Stars
with Kunaka, Kutandara, and Takapenga
feat. Taffie Matiure
Roots Music Project in Boulder
Look up into the nighttime sky, and the stars have a magical and inspiring presence. Stars can represent hope, destiny, heaven, and freedom. They can be something to reach for, something to admire, or something to regard with awe. Stars make us believe that wishes can come true…so why not dream together about the future?
In this third and final concert of our ’22-’23 series, Dream with the Stars lifts us up as the shining beacons that we each are. As we dream together of a better future, we admire and acknowledge the good in the present, while we celebrate and honor our roots – especially those who came before us on whose shoulders we stand.
In our continuing concert series that pays tribute to Zimbabwean musical legends, Dream with the Stars continues to explore community, connection, family, and how we can all come together to support one another.

The Cause
Bringing cultures together is what Kutandara is all about. Kutandara helps bring a piece of Zimbabwe to the US, expands the world of music for all of us, and honors the place where the music comes from by supporting and developing the next generation of Zimbabwean artists.
Each year donations to Kutandara’s Moon and Stars Foundation 501(c)3 help continue our local and international work. In the last year, Kutandara has:
- Provided 8 scholarships for marimba classes and its teen performance program, expanding access to music across the Front Range;
- Provided new marimbas and mallets, musical instruction, and financial support to Child Future Africa in Mt. Darwin and Tsoro Arts in Dzivaresekwa, both in Zimbabwe;
- Produced a monthly concert series live-streamed from Zimbabwe that supports over 25 musicians and tech staff;
- Partnered with and supported organizations teaching traditional music & dance in Zimbabwe: Humwe in Beatrice and Tsoro Arts in Dvizaresekwa, both in Zimbabwe;
- Led a group of 15 Americans, including 6 teen musicians, on a 3-week Zimbabwe Culture & Music Immersion Performance Tour to unite our two cultures; and
- In spite of the ongoing pandemic, brought Zimbabwean teacher, mentor, and coach Blessing Chimanga TWICE to the Front Range as a visitor for cultural exchange.
- Please make a donation at whatever level you are able!
