Berklee Cultural Exchange with Global Youth Groove in Kenya

Each year, a group of Berklee faculty, staff, and students go to Africa as part of Global Youth Groove, a nonprofit whose mission is to use music to transform the lives of young people in Kenya. This video features Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey of Berklee’s Bass Department, along with several students and alumni, who visited schools, orphanages, and Maasai warriors along their journey.
