| Bowed instruments called azeze. For sale for like $4. I didn't buy one. |
 |
| Drums called muheme. Also like $2. Still didn't get one. I have no room! |

| This little girl asked me to take her picture. |
 |
| Photo from the parade leading up to the festival. Taken by Diane. All the groups were performing at the same time. It was like a surreal wall of sound. |
 |
| Another photo from the parade taken by Diane. I was off somewhere dancing with the performers from Songombela |

| Matt Morin, FSU Grad, prof at Dixie State, performing from his muheme workshop. He's the guy whose dissertation I read. |

 |
| The Las Vegas Cafe. Unfortunately it was never open. |
 |
| The Nyota group. The guy with the microphone and baboon fur hat was like the Wagogo equivalent of Jack Black. He did lots of somersaults and was always smiling really big. |
 |
| Wind player from a group that was from Dar. Not actually Wagogo. But still kinda cool that he was playing out of his nose. |
 |
| People in awe of the cool music going on. |
 |
| Where's Waldo? He's performing Wagogo ngoma music. |
