Afrizo is led by Hellen Mtawali, who both teaches at Daystar and writes and choreographs Afrizo’s songs and dances. The group is made up of Daystar students, and eight of them will be touring the US with Hellen this fall. Afrizo’s music combines English, Swahili, and other African languages, dance, and story-telling about how Daystar is equipping servant leaders for Africa.
