Suubi Fusion Troupe was formed as a way for high school students in Uganda to overcome trauma and work through their feelings, after the conclusion of the civil war in Uganda (2008). The troupe’s members come from the Cambridge School, a school in the Wakasa Region of Uganda, built through projects funded and planned by NEXIM International Development Organization (NIDO). http://www.suubimusic.com/tour
