Sticks + Bars is D.C.’s first-and-only African-style youth marimba band dedicated to shining a light on the vibrant music of Southern Africa, as well as musical stylings of the African diaspora and diverse cultures across the world. These young musicians have shared their exuberant performances at the Kennedy Center, Strathmore Hall, and other venues along the East Coast. They also performed at a concert with the famed South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. You can learn more about them at sticksandbars.org.Group founder and director Premila Mistry is a D.C.
