Duncan Wambugu and the UF African Choir

Duncan Wambugu came to Gainesville, Florida to attend Graduate School from Kenyatta University in Nairobe, Kenya. He was the choir director at KU and is the first recipient of a collaborative program between the music departments at Kenyatta University and UF. Here at UF, he founded the University's first African choir, which started in September of 2009. Duncan and the students perform authentic African tunes from all over the continent, creating a multicultural experience that only direct contact with the music of a country can create.
