Details

Marimba Matatu and Dance Afrik will perform Friday, Sept. 6, from 5:30-7:30 pm at the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures. Marimba Matatu plays music from Zimbabwe that layers together in intricate ways, making melodies and sounds only heard when several people play together. Dance Afrik is a high-energy, multi-generational drum and dance group dedicated to learning, teaching, and celebrating traditional African rhythms. Through the kinetic conversation between the drummers and the dancers, the rich rhythms of African culture come alive. The free entertainment accompanies free admission to the Museum from 5-8 pm for First Friday Art Walk. In the Museum’s Main Gallery, One World, One Family honors indigenous peoples and cultures around the world. The Museum’s Hall Gallery features photographs of Native American objects, and both exhibits run through Sept. 21. The Global Village Museum is located at 200 West Mountain Avenue, and Museum hours are 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday through Saturday.
