Advertisement
Come to the Londonderry Town Common to hear the Akwaaba Traditional African Drum and Dance Ensemble perform! The group includes past members of the National Dance Ensemble, Brekete Ensemble and the Shidaa cultural troupe. The Akwaaba Ensemble’s energetic and engaging performances reflect their name, which means ‘welcome’ in the Twi language of the Ashanti tribe of Ghana. At each performance the Ensemble brings Highlife music, West African drumming and dance to vivid life. The goal of the group is to produce extraordinary music and great performances that enlighten the audience about African culture and music. The performance will be 45 minutes followed by a 15-minute discussion and Q&A portion. In the case of rain, it will be held in the Londonderry High School cafeteria. This program has been made possible through the Civic Life and Belonging Grant from the New Hampshire Humanities as well as the generous sponsorship of the Friends of the Library and the Friends of Music.
