TARUWA (a Hausa word meaning ‘gathering’) is an event created by Gbagyichild Entertainment. It is a gathering of artistic and intellectual minds, and creates a platform for artistes to express themselves in a comfortable and intellectual setting. On a typical TARUWA evening, there are performances by poets, vocalists, instrumentalists, comedians and spoken word artistes.
