Three Moluccan women from the third and fourth generations of Moluccans in the Netherlands are passionately and determinedly dedicated to preserving the tifa drumming tradition, an important part of Moluccan cultural heritage. Performing tifa is a way to keep the rich history and connection to their ancestors alive.

The women, raised in the Netherlands, have inherited the value of their culture through generations and are striving to pass this on to their children and the wider community. They have not only learned to play the tifa but have also understood its significance and now wish to share it with others to protect it from being lost. They see it as a means to strengthen the identity of the Moluccan community, especially in a time when many traditional customs are at risk of disappearing.
