Clad in colourful traditional costumes, a group of dancers take to the stage with gusto, treating an expectant audience with riveting vibes right from the start to the end of a gripping performance.

With a powerful rhythm of the drums, the dancers entertain guests at the only cultural centre known as Njama Mzango on the outskirts of Wundanyi town in Taita-Taveta County.
