TICKETS: $30.00 General Public
/ $22.50 IMAC Members
On
Friday, March 30th at 9PM the Inter-Media Art Center in
Huntington, Long Island will host an evening of traditional
African drumming and dance with OLATUNJI AND HIS DRUMS OF
PASSION.
OLATUNJI�s
music is a profound celebration of African life, with songs
that herald the many personal and social events central to all
cultures. His
troupe, Drums of Passion, express these images with a vitality
and force that is the benchmark by which all great African
performers today must be measured.
They
utilize a variety of traditional African instruments and
authentic costumes in their brilliant shows.
The
songs come from all parts of Africa, including a harvest song
from Olatunji�s homeland, Nigeria, a rain celebration from
Zaire, and others from Liberia, Senegal, and the Congo.
The great dancers in Olatunji�s
troupe imitate the movements of many different living
creatures, as well as pure expressions of the human spirit.
Tickets for
this performance are $30.00 general public ($22.50 for IMAC
Members) and can be obtained by calling IMAC's 24-hour
