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 an African drum (Djembe) performance with accompanying dancers, a drumming tutorial/workshop, a traditional costume exhibition, and a brief demonstration of drum-making.
Experience the powerful rhythms of inspired 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 come and share this day with us and enjoy the beauty of African culture!
