BLACK HISTORY CELEBRATION – ARTS & CRAFTS FESTIVAL
It
will be a day of almost non-stop music as the City of Miramar celebrates
Black History Month. 45
Music from the “Old Skool Gang”, playing
hits from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s with past members
of such bands as KC and the Sunshine Band; and “Sons of Mystro”,
two violinists who put a new twist on some classical music.
The “Rhythms
of Africa”, an all musical performance by Chisseko of Kenya will
transport you 8,000 miles away to a small village where a welcoming
concert is about to begin. You will listen to the kalimba, congas,
flute, talking drum, shaker and chigubu. Before you know it you will
be out of your seat dancing and singing Harambee! Chisseko will also
share an insider's view of daily life in a traditional East African
village thru an interactive program which engages you through art,
music, artifacts, language and storytelling in “Passport to Africa.”
You
will also have the unique opportunity to see and purchase arts & crafts
from some of our local talented people. There will also be inflatable
rides and face painting for the children. Food and novelties will be
available for purchase. Plan on bringing the whole family to the Miramar
Town Center at 2300 Civic Center Place on Saturday, February
25, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for a day of fun and
entertainment; just don’t forget your chairs and blankets.
