Dieudonne Manirakiza is the director of the Umoja Choir. The Omaha choir’s members are resettled refugees, many of whom came here from Burundi, The Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. The Umojia Choir performs in several languages, singing songs focused on the same idea as the choir’s name — umoja is the Swahili word for unity.
TEDxOmaha is an independently organized TED event. As a part of the global TED community, we connect locally to explore the ideas and situations that affect our cultures, environments, and minds.
