Giwayen Mata
Giwayen Mata is the award winning, dynamic, soul stirring, all sistah, dance, percussion, and vocal ensemble. In the Hausa language from Nigeria, our name means “elephant women” and is a term given to the leaders of women’s organizations there. Like elephants we are a multi-generational herd. We nurture one another, lead one another, and maintain our culture with dignity and grace.
Grounded by movements, rhythms, and songs of the African Diaspora, we present performance works that reflect, celebrate, and unlock the hidden treasures of Black womanhood. With our feet touching the sacred grounds of our Indigenous American ancestors and the birth lands of our foremothers and forefathers of African descent, we stand tall showing honor and respect for the beautiful tapestry of life that adorns who we are as powerful daughters of the world. www.giwayenmata.org
