This concert will partly be a fundraiser for Musekiwa Chingodza's project in Zimbabwe, called Serevende Music and Cultural Arts Center. The center's goal is to help orphans and other impoverished youth attend school, gain life and literacy skills and sell their crafts (traditional arts training teaches them to make crafts). Serevende's future goal is to create a cultural center where visitors from around the world can come and learn in depth about mbira, singing, dance and other Zimbabwean traditions.
Any additional donations are greatly appreciated-please contact Kelly for more infomation!
Please contact
or (510) 428-2647 for reservations & information.

“Kelly Takunda Orphan has a delicious blend of traditional and contemporary ingredients in her work. She’s so satisfying.”
— Keith Terry, Crosspulse.
COMING SOON: www.KTOProject.com
 "Kelly Takunda Orphan has been on a long and wondrous musical journey beginning with her Armenian roots to the percussion driven music of West Africa, Zimbabwe and the Caribbean. This, her first recording, reveals a rare breed of musician who carefully and respectfully fuses together music of disparate cultures. The vocals are warm and lush-the rhythm tracks will make you want to dance!"
— Linda Tillery
singer, percussionist,
cultural historian
....and on a personal note....Some of you have been emailing me, asking what's been happening, why The KTO Project hasn't been performing recently. Well, to answer that question, check out the following website: www.orphanmartinez.shutterfly.com

I got married to percussionist extraordinate, Silvestre Martinez, and gave myself the summer to relax, write new music, garden & just BE. But of course I will always be performing & teaching, so thanks for your patience-I'm back!
