Insansa 3- 1st April

Chilled out live world music and Zambian food night, raising money for a computer room for schools in rural Zambia.

Insansa is back! It promises to be another lovely
evening, this time with a chilled out acoustic
emphasis.

The evening will feature Universal Pulse, described as
'grooves from the ether' with gorgeous African
inspired singing and drumming. Taonga dancers, from
Zambia, will show a sensual treat of traditional
Zambian dance, not commonly seen in the UK. Steve
Lewis brings folksy, atmospheric and at times
downright wierd (in a good way) guitar skills into the
mix. The Mundi drummers will get you dancing to beats
from West and Southern Africa, and Sam and Ouattara,
the Zimbabwean/ Ivoirean duo return with their mix of
traditional and contemporary song and guitar.

Insansa 3 is on Saturday 1st April, 7:30-11:30pm in
the Broomspring Centre, on Brunswick Street,
Broomhall. Delicious Zambian food will be available,
and there will be a licensed bar. A bargain at £5/ £4
concessions too!

We'll be raising money for a computer room in
Nchelenge High School. This has been identified as a
real priority as it will enable teaching of computer
skills, which are of increasing importance in Zambia,
and also facilitate links between schools here in
Sheffield and Nchelenge through internet connection.

News update: the last 2 Insansas are bearing fruit
back in Zambia- a classroom block for Praise Academy
is very nearly completed, with most of the building
work coming through funds raised from Insansas.
Francis, a friend in Zambia says: 'I had gone to
Nchelenge to check on the progress of the building. lt
looks wonderful. We thank God for your helping hand.
Without you and all friends in Uk, our dream of
building this school would not have materialised.'

Hope to see you there!
