Tsikaya - a project of rehabilitation of traditional music in rural communities in Angola; www.tsikaya.org

Instrumentos 4 Da Museum - Commissioned by the National Museums of Scotland through its £46 million Royal Museum Project of re-development, Instrumentos 4 da Museum are four contemporary musical instruments designed by Victor Gama and developed in dialogue with curators in response to the Jean Jenkins collection of musical instruments based at the museum - looking at issues of construction and sound production - and in keeping with the themes being developed in the Performance and Lives gallery in the new Royal Museum Project. The instruments have also been built in accordance with their ability to be played by the public in the resulting display.
