Attendees will get a first look at the vision behind Root Sounds Productions, featuring a screening of a documentary on Kongo music and a demonstration of live music that bridges African rhythms with jazz, blues and contemporary sounds. A dialogue on community building through culture will continue over Congolese coffee, tea and chocolate.
The first official programming is a six-week African Drum Course, beginning on Wednesday, April 22, that focuses on the rhythms of central Africa. Kids and teen/adult classes will be offered.
