OC Based African Dream Foods

04.13.21

OC based African Dream Foods offers an exciting variety of sauces, seasonings and salts that will directly benefit conservation efforts in Africa. The products are also available now on Walmart.com and are coming soon to Amazon Prime.

The brand is presently offering a variety of 12 flavors, which include sauces, salts and seasonings sold individually and in variety-pack gift boxes.

Last month African Dream Foods teased their exciting new brand of sauces, salts and spices inspired by the culture and flavors of Africa. With distribution operations are in Orange County, all products are developed and imported from South Africa using all-natural ingredients sourced from small farms. For all sales from their web store moving forward, partial proceeds from all products will benefit conservation efforts and organizations in South Africa. Partner organizations helping conservation work include Wild Shots Outreach and Paws Trails.

African Dream Foods offers 8 sauces, 3 spicy salts and a smoky seasoning. Their sauce flavors include a Bird's Eye Chilli, Ghost Peri-Peri, Habanasco - Fermented Habanero, Sweet Dream Sauce, Southern Braai BBQ, Jalanasco - Fermented Jalapeno, Lemon & Garlic Peri-Peri and African Ghost Pepper. Salt and seasoning offerings include a Habanero, Ghost Pepper or Smoked Chipotle Salt and their unique Safari Smoke Seasoning. The spicy salts and seasonings come in convenient grinder bottles.

African Dream Foods is a project developed from the various passions of entrepreneur David Schmunk. His curiosity to see and experience new things ultimately brought him to South Africa — where a new journey and the love affair with the beauty, vitality, culture, people, scenery, and flavors of the country began. David wanted to create a business that combined his passions for travel, food, hot sauce, and spices with Africa, photography, and wildlife conservation.

Soka Performing Arts Center Presents Music As A Healing Balm

04.13.21

Soka Performing Arts Center presents its first event in the Manager’s Choice Series, a series designed and directed by General Manager Renee Bodie to introduce or expand upon musicians, acousticians, and others who are involved in projects that take place outside the traditional performance space.

On Tuesday, April 13 at 7:30 (PDT), Renee Bodie speaks with Andrew Janss, founding cellist for the acclaimed Escher Quartet, current cellist for Break of Reality, about Project: Music Heals Us, the non-profit organization he co-founded and serves as Executive Director. The organization, since its founding in 2014, has presented over 1,000 free concerts and educational programs in hospitals, correctional facilities, shelters and refugee centers.

The discussion will also delve into the Vital Sounds Initiative, the organization’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, how world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma became involved, and the profound impact the music has on the people hearing it and the musicians performing the concerts.

“I can personally testify that when we’re looking for meaning and purpose at a time when many of the usual avenues of expression are not open for us to explore [...] this is actually one of the best things one can do as a musician during this crucial time when people need you.”

— YO-YO MA

Janss will also discuss the upcoming Yamaha documentary film highlighting Project: Music Heals Us and the importance and ability of music to bring people together and provide healing for those in need.  

A question and answer session will follow the interview. 

The event is FREE but Registration is required on Zoom.
