Tontoma Poetry Jazz Session Resumes on the 17th June with the Eid Al Fitr Special Edition

Eid al-Fitr translates as the ‘festival of breaking the fast’ and happens immediately after Ramadan, with festivity, day-time feasts and family gatherings. Customarily, family and friends dress up in new Eid clothes and visit each other’s houses bearing gifts. (expect traffic to increase in the days leading up to this, as people hurry to get new clothes, haircuts, henna and buy all the ingredients for their feasts). Many families will also visit the poor and needy in their own communities to make sure they have enough food and water to celebrate themselves. Charity is known as zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, and is particularly significant during Ramadan and the Eids.

So Tontoma Poetry Jazz Session will present on that day Poetry Showcases from Mos elm Poets ( Hawa Nanjobe K, Poetic Jamail , Lus the Poet and other regular poets in a way to celebrate Eid Al Fitr Special Edition.

Date: 17TH JUNE/SUNDAY
