COVID-19 - Please note the global postal service is significantly delayed due to the increase in online orders. Please allow extra time for your order to arrive in this strange time!
I send on standard delivery, unless otherwise stated. Etsy states there is a 'tracking number' regardless but this is a proof of postage reference, so please ignore this.
Eco-friendly, fairly traded, made from sustainable materials, handmade, socially responsible, supporting traditional African crafts and practise; these are our trading principles. We support and love people, we support and love the environment. Most packaging is recycled, only use un-sustainable if there are no other alternatives.
Natalie is a creative and cultural activist from London who is passionate about social justice, human dignity and of course, music and making! African Musical Instruments started as a book, which she wrote, illustrated and published, designed to address the lack of cultural and heritage materials available for children about African cultures, on the continent and in the diaspora (North, Central and South America and the Caribbean). In her bright and musical way, Natalie is readdressing European hegemony by growing the space in the heart and minds of those who recognise spirit and humanity everywhere, and those with an appreciation for the gifts within indigenous and global African cultures.
