Sisters doing it
In addition to performing and recording, they do a range of artistic and musical things, relating to the African & Pan - African Diaspora. One of these is the tremendous Harambee Pasadia Afro Fusion Arts Festival, which is a Black run music festival.

What is it?
Harambee in Swahili means 'let's get together' & Pasadia in Spanish means 'to spend the day'. It's a great, 4-day, camping and arts extravaganza, celebrating music, diverse cultures, foods & artists.

Global music
At the heart of it, there is incredible music, but there are also workshops, dances, talks and most noticeably – a sense of true global community to the whole festival.
