The djembe drums dance and the ngoni’s strings sing as the griots tell a tale passed down from generation to generation. Long ago, when the stars were still babies, the trees and animals talked, and a water-stealing sun burned overhead, a baobab tree bore an unexpected and unusual gift. Featuring music from Mali and Senegal, puppets large and small, one naughty monkey, and a witch with an itch to dance, Baobab is a percussion-filled fable about a boy’s heroic quest to save his village from drought.
At 6 pm in the lobby, enjoy free children’s activities, dancing from Imani Edu-tainers, and small bites of African food from Upohar World Kitchen!
FREE show!
