Response 21 Experience The Beat Of Africa

Immerse yourself in West African culture through drumming, vibrant costumes, and more. “Experience the Beat of Africa” is a community festival co-hosted by Glenfield Library and Kra KoTo Kra, a West African-style drumming ensemble.

The event features a performance, as well as drumming and dancing tutorials/workshops by Kra KoTo Kra, and an exhibition of traditional costumes and instruments. Experience the powerful rhythms of West African-style drum and dance and learn about the symbolic and historical significance of Africa. Most importantly, practise the African drumming principle of “everyone gathering together in peace.”

We invite you to join us for this free event and celebrate the beauty of African culture.
