Miriam Makeba toured the world and brought joy to millions with her magnificent voice and song. She was awarded honorary doctorates, had passports from over 10 counties, recorded hundreds of songs, and introduced African music to countless people around the globe.

The Moment In Time Festival is a celebration of African and African/ Caribbean cultural heritage through the arts. The festival began in 1984 as a multi-media family festival, and has evolved over the years into a tribute honoring the memory of a cultural hero with a program that reflects their contributions. The Moment In Time Festival is designed to promote global peace and understanding, often drawing on the rich cultural heritages of Senegal, Nigeria and Cuba. It includes folkloric and modern music and drumming, storytelling and traditional African dance, integrated with a message of peace and unity. Goals![]()
