Kajira and Chuck are the co-producers of the extremely successful Tribal Fest that is held annually every May in Sebastopol, CA. Tribal and tribal fusion comprise a very popular and growing segment within belly dance. I am frequently asked about the Tribal Fest event. So late this summer, I interviewed Kajira and Chuck to answer the most common questions and for more “behind the scenes” details about this event.
Kajira and Chuck are enthusiastic and approachable, and you can see how their personal vibe sets the overall vibe for Tribal Fest. The interview gives you a good look at this motivated couple. I think you’ll find the segments both informative and interesting, so I hope you spend some time watching and learning more.
