On the evening of December 5, the musical and dance drama "INALA" was staged at the Yunnan Grand Theater, taking the audience from the cold winter to the scorching sun and lush rainforest of Africa.

The show integrates South African and western cultures, combines ancient Zulu dance with classical ballet and modern dance. The show also has a distinctive vocal chorus, the Soweto Gospel choir, a former Grammy Awards and Emmy Awards winner. Its music was also nominated for the 2016 Grammy Awards for the best world music album in 2016.

The African music with great appeal, as if from the voice of the local tribe, the surging and passionate rhythm, the rich rhythm and the vigorous and powerful dancing posture of the dancers directly hit the hearts of every audience.

After its first stop in kunming, INALA will be staged in Guangxi, Wuhan and Shenzhen, bringing audiences across China into an exotic and passionate atmosphere this winter.
