African Dance and African Singing
1000 Voices Project was founded on the conviction that whenever we raise our voices collectively, change is inevitable. The 1000 Voices Project offers people the opportunity to work together to stimulate self-awareness while cultivating basic human qualities such as compassion, understanding and respect.
The 1000 Voices Project offers a variety of programs in different settings bringing people together to build peaceful communities. African songs, rhythm games, dance, and storytelling are used to facilitate personal growth, community building and cross-cultural understanding. We hope that one day it will be common practice for people to gather in the thousands to work together in harmony.

“Nii Armah’s Songs of Life class has provided me with an entirely new way to express and nurture myself. Before I hesitantly joined this program I had not sung anything since high school, not even in the shower because I believed I could not sing. I was in my mid-fifties when I met Nii Armah and he encouraged me to join the group. My initial overwhelm was quickly dispelled because everyone was having so much fun that I wanted to participate. The weekly gatherings became the highlight of my life, and when I moved overseas for several years this was what I missed the most. I am so grateful to be back in Boulder so I can sing African songs with Nii Armah again”.
