MEET MY ANCESTORS is deeply saddened by the death of our Founding Musical Director, Raymond Mupfumira Raymond Mup. No words can adequately describe and appreciate the multifaceted artist that was Ray, and his leadership and contribution to our vision, mission, and our productions. He collaborated and curated artistic explorations with such grace, ease and talent, and was an inspiring friend to all. We are distraught at the sad news and send our deepest condolences to his family, friends and wider artistic community. Raymond is already missed. Rest in Peace 🙏🏾
