Stop by from 5-7 p.m. LEAF Resident Teaching Artist musicians and friends will be providing live music from their various traditions as well playing together in their newly formed House Band.
The musicians are:

Bring an instrument if you want to jam! There will be hors d’oeuvres available from various cultures and Kente Kitchen (traditional West African cuisine) will have small bites available for purchase.

The event is finished.

Mayani is a Maasai boy from longido Arusha. He went to boarding school at 6 years old and lost his Maasai language and tradition. Since joining the LEAF program, he has learned to sing Maasai songs, practiced the ‘jump’ tradition and wear Maasai shukas (traditional clothing). Mayani is extremely happy and is currently teaching other youth the culture.
