Wassa, Wassa! African Songs of Joy and Celebration

“Wassa” is the Malinke word for JOY, and that’s the goal tonight!  Join us for an uplifting, energizing evening of songs from Africa, led by Linda Shoemaker and Louise Grasmere, and accompanied by live drumming. We’ll sing exciting, rhythmic call & response songs, including “Kuku,” a song of celebration sung throughout Western Africa, and “Sila,” a song from Guinea that promises you can always find your way back home.  We’ll also sing two African energizing choral pieces: “Ipharadisi” from South Africa and “Kakilambe” from Senegal.  You’ll be singing and dancing in your seats – or in the aisles!

Tuesday, Oct. 28, 7:30-9 p.m.
