The Rwandan community in Korea celebrated an impressive cultural performance by Itorero Umucyo Rwandan Diaspora Dancing Group at the Seoul Africa Festival, attracting a large audience and receiving widespread acclaim.
The event, organized annually by Africa Insight, aims to foster people-to-people diplomacy between Korea and Africa.
This year, Itorero Umucyo Rwandan Diaspora Dancing Group not only showcased their rich cultural heritage but also emerged victorious, winning the 2024 Africa Insight Award.
The festival features an expo divided into three parts: an official ceremony with congratulatory remarks, a showcase of African fashion and entrepreneurship, and a platform for Korean businesses engaged with the continent.
Uwera Pacis, the troupe’s leader and a top graduate from Rwanda, has made a significant impact since arriving in Korea after high school. Her leadership and the troupe’s vibrant performance underscore the deep cultural connections between the two regions.
