The band performs on handmade acoustic instruments crafted from padouk wood ranging in size from a small soprano to an impressive 8-foot-long bass marimba. Along with traditional Zimbabwean and Mbira style music, the band also performs arrangements of American favorites. Under the direction of Mylinda King, Danda presents uplifting and dance evoking music that is fun for all ages.
