Makinu in the Park emerged as a cultural arts initiative in the summer of 2020, generously backed by the City of East Palo Alto. Blossoming amidst the widespread isolation of the pandemic era, Makinu's mission was clear: to restore hope and foster community reconnection through the transformative power of the arts. This multigenerational endeavor celebrates music and dance traditions originating from Africa and its diverse global diaspora, offering a vibrant and inclusive experience for all.
