[NEohioPAL] 6th Annual Cleveland African Dance & Drum Festival

[Talise Campbell via NEohioPAL]

Come dance with us! Come drum with us!  Come and celebrate our
Cultural Connections!!! Join us at the 6th annual Cleveland African Dance and
Drum Festival hosted by Djapo Cultural Arts Imstitute.

 This year's event celebrates
the life-long connections that are made to enhance the lives of family, self,
and community while interlacing a theatrical infusion of dance, poetry, drumming
and song from June 20th to June 21st. 

Saturday and
Sunday features a community-wide African dance and drum conference with master
teachers from Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Ivory Coast and the United States. 

 Saturday night
features “Connections” – a Juneteenth Concert performance choreographed and
produced by noted artist, choreographer and dancer Talise Campbell. Cleveland's
own Djapo Cultural Arts Institute will join master teachers and area performers
for a moving tribute in celebration of our continuing legacy, conceivable through
our connections made through our rising journey. 

 Tickets for the
concert are $25 in advance $30 day of show, and can be purchased online at www.djapo.com or from cast members. Don't
delay: last year's concert sold out quickly.
