Rubatano Center

Rubatano Center ...heartwarming, dance inducing, vibration raising Zimbabwean music for every generation! Mauya Mauya! Welcome to Rubatano paChitsuwa.

The name, meaning 'United on the Island', came from Cosmas Magaya and Beauler Dyoko after one of their many visits to Whidbey Island. They and many other Zimbabwean guests feel at home here while sharing their Shona music and culture with us. Rubatano Center is a gathering point for learning how to play traditional and contemporary music from Zimbabwe on marimbas. Although this music is rich in tr

adition, variety and complexity, it is easy and fun to learn without having prior musical experience. One of the missions of Rubatano Center is to explore this richness and experience the joy of playing marimba in ensemble form. Class schedule and registration can be found at www.rubatano.com
