Beginning with a drum call, the Farafina KanYouth Ensemble brings to life a festive Kwanzaa celebration. The program offers a historical overview of this special holiday season and audience participation that includes a libation, naming ceremony, interactive drumming, and a family and community values observance. A 30-minute concert includes a seamless fusion of traditional African music and dance, infused with the creative genius of the music of the African Diaspora: reggae, blues, jazz, funk, and hip hop.
