Makumbusho Cultural Centre & Village Museum

Swahili class today included some wonderful singing of Tanzanian songs, both gospel and secular. in return, the students offered a hymn or two from the Mennonite hymnal. Also as part of Swahili class, in small groups the students were asked to act out both inappropriate and appropriate cultural behaviors. Remember to offer and receive gifts and greetings with your right hand, avoid smelling food at a host’s house (it suggests you are unsure of the food’s quality), and please remember to greet your elders with the customary shikamoo (I offer you my respect.)

After class, we boarded daladalas from the church to visit the Makumbusho Cultural Centre & Village Museum in Dar. The center seeks to celebrate and educate Tanzanians and visitors alike regarding the unique cultural heritage present in Tanzania’s more than 120 tribes. More than 20 of these tribes are represented at the center through construction of houses, gardens, and industries that typify their communities in the rural landscape. We were lucky enough to be attending during an annual 3-day celebration where villagers came to town for dancing and singing representative of their tribe. We were also treated to a buffet of ugali, rice, vegetables, and fruit.

Tomorrow we will go to the beach for a day of respite, reading, and relaxing. Likely Sunday, students will go to church with their families. We’ll touch base again on Monday. Weekendi njema! (Have a nice weekend).

Tudumishe utamaduni wetu:

Mdada akichunja pombe ya asili, na hivyo ndivyo walivyofanya hapo kale na pia kuna baadhi ya sehemu Afrika bado inafanyika hivyo

Na hapa ni nyumba ya asili huko Afrika ya kusini/ hasa kwa kabila la kizulu. Ambao inasemekana ni wanaukoo na wangoni.

Na hapa ni nyumba ya asili ya wangoni iliyopo Songea pale Makumbusho ya Mashujua

Ramani ya bara la Afrika

Rais Jakaya Kikwete akipiga ngoma ya kisukuma,

moja ya tamadauni za Kitanzania

Ujumbe kutoka Chama cha Sanaa na Fasihi cha China

ukiangalia vinyago mjini Dar es salaam

vijana wakisukuma wakiwa katika vazi la ngoma za kisukuma maarufu kwa jina la ngoma.

Hii ni nyumba iliyohifadhi ngoma hizo zinazopigwa wakati chifu wa kisukuma anapokuwa na matukio muhimu lakini pia ni mfano wa kiti anachokalia chifu wa kisukuma kama unavyoiona huku chini.

Hili ni bao amalo lilitumiwa na machifu kushindana, kwa mfano wao walikuwa hawapigi kura wakati wakichagua kiongozi wa eneo lao , ila machifu hao walitumia bao kushindania madaraka na aliyemfunga mwenzake kete nyingi ndiye aliyetawazwa kuwa chifu wa eneo fulani

Huu ni mfano wa eneo lilitumika kwa kufanya maombi ya kimila na kufanya toba kama kuna madhambi wamefanya, kabla ya wazungu na waarabu kuleta dini zao.Michuzijunior mkurugenzi wa JIACHIE kushoto akiwa na Maria Nyanjige Mhifadhi Msaidizi wa Makumbusho ya Bujora mbele ya nyumba illiyohifadhi vifaa mbalimbali vilivyotumika kwa ajili ya michezo ya kabila la Kisukuma Bagika na Bagalu, yaani utamaduni uliokuwa na ushindani mkubwa kama vile Simba na Yanga.

Hii ni nyumba maalum ambayo ilitumika kuhifadhia madawa, na vifaa mbalimbali kwa ajili ya kufanyia tiba ya kiasili.

Hili ni ghala ambalo lilitumika kuhifadhia chakula na mpaka leo ghara hili hutumika katika familia
