ABOUT MOTHERLAND HOUSE CONCERT

For people, music venues, schools, churches and colleges who are curious about the African culture, love experiences or adventures and like to host friends, colleagues or students at home or a private venue of their choice, the Motherland House Concert is a house concert that showcases live original African music, spoken word, art and real life stories from African artists in an intimate and interactive setting.

Unlike other concerts, the Motherland House Concert is the only House concert specialized in African cultural exposure. We are the only company that showcases a combination of African musicians and poets, different African music genres, real life stories from 3 different African countries in every house concert thereby, painting a real picture of Africa’s diversity.

The Motherland House Concert also offers a safe space for the audience to interact with the artists, ask questions and to get immersed in Africa’s cultural diversity.

We bring African music, art and storytelling into your venue of choice - home, private venue or company.

Our goal is to bridge the cultural divide between Africans and the community, while empowering Africans to integrate, fully participate and contribute in growing the economy.

We are also excited to announce we are partnering with Sizije (www.sizi-je.com) for a great night of African food, wine, music and poetry.

Mirabel Umenei

My name is Mirabel Umenei, singer/songwriter and owner of The Motherland House Concert. We take you on an exciting journey to Africa through music, art and story telling in an intimate and interactive setting.

I moved to Grand Rapids over 7 years ago, and started integrating myself in the local music scene.

What have impressed me the most have not only been the music scene, but the openness of the community to new acts and new cultural experiences.

As I delved deeper I noticed the following problems:

 

1. The huge unmet demand for cultural diversity in entertainment in our corporations, schools and community evidenced by the high number inquiries I receive for African entertainment.
2. The need for better cross-cultural exposure between the African immigrant community and the West Michigan community.
3. The lack of avenues for African immigrant talent to showcase their art.

 

To solve these problems, we have 3 offerings:

1. House Concert – which is an interactive and intimate musical experience showcasing African musicians, art & storytelling, in a small group in the comfort of your home or a location of the your choice.
2. Educational House Concert  - Is where you enjoy live African music, dance or drumming lessons as well as African history & poetry.
3. The Premium Experience – Is a combination of a house concert and a culinary experience.  We showcase dishes and wines from Africa in a 3-course meal.

What differentiates us?

• We are the only African House Concert the Mid West.
• We offer a safe space for the audience to ask questions.
• We bring the entertainment to you or location of your choice.

 

Our Competition?

We do not have any direct competition.
