About Humwe, and its founder
In 2001, just a week before 9/11, 21-year-old Tsitsi Magaya arrived in Eugene, Oregon, to become a U.S. college student. Her father was the world-renowned Zimbabwean mbira master Cosmas Magaya, who himself had visited Eugene several times previously

while on tour with ethnomusicologist Paul Berliner and also while attending the Zimbabwean Music Festival 2000, held at the University of Oregon. He initiated a program for learning to play mbira at Kutsinhira Cultural Arts Center (https://kutsinhira.org/), a local Eugene nonprofit dedicated to the music and people of Zimbabwe.
Tsitsi had bravely left her home country to live with a Eugene family and study – first at Lane Community College and then the University of Oregon, where she graduated in 2004. She went on to earn a master’s degree in accounting and to work at several large US corporations. She eventually became a US citizen and currently lives with her family in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Tsitsi (which means “mercy” in her native language) had from the start the desire to help the people of her native country, and she was encouraged in this ambition by her father, as well as her friends and supporters at Kutsinhira Cultural Arts Center in Eugene. So as soon as her own financial stability was established, Tsitsi began to plan and establish Humwe: the Cosmas Magaya Cultural Arts and Education Centre (https://humwe.org/ ), working in her father’s rural village in the Mhondoro area of Zimbabwe.
The Shona word “humwe” means “working together to achieve a shared goal.” Through Humwe, Tsitsi and local teachers and supporters started to offer mbira, marimba and dance classes to young people in the area, under the guidance of Cosmas Magaya.
Tsitsi called together a board of directors to help her work on becoming a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit so that the goals of Humwe (Cultural Preservation, Cultural Exchange, and Community Support) could be realized in a larger way. US nonprofit status was attained by Humwe in July 2020. Just days later, we suffered the loss of our elder, inspiration, and friend, Cosmas Magaya, to the Covid-19 pandemic. Though we experienced this tragedy as a deep loss in many ways, it did not deter Tsitsi and the Humwe Board from carrying out Tsitsi’s vision; rather, we considered it now to be more urgent, because mbira had lost its champion and Zimbabwe its cultural ambassador.
Humwe has continued to offer lessons to local young people in playing marimba, mbira, and other traditional instruments, but has also expanded its programs to include young

rural students from many other areas of Zimbabwe. This is done by means of holding weeklong camps during school breaks, where students travel to Magaya village to learn and share the music. The organization has also purchased instruments to donate to local schools and paid school fees for its students. Future plans include an expansion of the music camp program, exchange visits of Humwe students with students in other areas of Zimbabwe, and the building of a small traditional village and other accommodation so that visitors from both Zimbabwe and other countries can come and learn about Shona music and culture.

Come out in support of Parkinson’s resources for this benefit concert featuring Whirled Pie’s favorites COMPLICATED. An all ages benefit.

Stand-up comedians take to the stage and tell their BEST jokes, then they go to an undisclosed location to get WAY too high, only to come back to the stage and ATTEMPT to tell more jokes completely baked.

Hosted by Billy Anderson

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is there an age requirement?

Due to the content of the show, we request all audience members be 21 years of age or older.

Is there a drink minimum / will there be food & drink at the event?

No, there is not a drink minimum but it would be great for you to get a food and/or drink item and support the venue that lets us put this show on!

Can we smoke inside the venue?

No. This is not an indoor smoking venue. That being said, we DO take an intermission for a reason and what you do once you leave the venue is your own business. We won’t stop you and we aren’t snitches.

Can we smoke with the comedians?

We book the comedians to be comedians. That means they are only required to tell jokes, smoke and tell more jokes. If they want to do the smoking part with everyone, we encourage it. Otherwise, it’s more about creating a comfortable environment for these comedians to smoke without having to worry about interaction with people. Some of the comedians do not regularly smoke and it is important that we keep them relaxed. We don’t want them to have a freak out because one of you is too intense. We all have that friend.
