Malian Master Drummer Moussa Traore
Drummers and dancers will perform dances from Mali, Guinea, Senegal, and South Africa; the dances are representative of different ethnic groups and a variety of celebrations. The show will begin with a beautiful photo journal of Mali, and the program includes a showing of brief photo documentaries of the school building projects already completed.
African Marketplace
There will also be vendor tables selling a variety of crafts and jewelery. 100% of the profits from ticket and craft sales will go to Build a School in Africa to help us build our 8th and 9th schools in Mali, West Africa. All contributions are tax-deductible.
This high-energy show has always received rave reviews from the audience, and we invite you to share this dynamic experience with us. It’s a show the whole family can enjoy.
Ticket prices are $15 for Adults, $5 for children under 12, and will be available at the door, space allowing.
