About Us.
Welcome to Kokubanza - Where Tradition Meets Transformation!
At Kokubanza, we proudly embrace the spirit of our name, which is common among the Haya Tribe in Northern Tanzania, meaning "The Beginning." For us, Kokubanza signifies the commencement of a transformative journey – not only in the world of African art but also as a catalyst for breaking the generational cycle of poverty.
