Cultural exchange is occurring even after the music stops.  While on tour, 29:11 musicians are hosted by local families and build strong relationships within the communities they visit. While in Cape Town, 29:11 enthusiastically hosts students, musicians, donors, and others on a continuous basis throughout the year.
