Lupanga Band | IGNITING CREATIVITY AND CULTURAL RESONANCE

Lupanga is a group inspired by the eagle’s traits. They take on the eagle’s character, flying alone at high altitudes, being fearless, visionary, and never surrendering to challenges. They approach their work with determination and tenacity, just like the eagle. This group embodies authority and wisdom in their endeavors.

I feel exposed and motivated by the project. The training has introduced me to the area of my specialty that I have always wanted to understand more. This is mainly website management and content creation. The other part is learning from fellow creatives and mentors who are gurus in the media aspect. I look forward to gaining more skills, experience, and knowledge.
