IMAC TO HOST AN EVENING OF
TRADITIONAL AFRICAN DRUMMING AND DANCE
WITH

OLATUNJI AND HIS DRUMS OF PASSION


FRIDAY, March 30, 2001 at 9PM

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 Arts-Line at (631) 549-ARTS. Tickets can also be purchased at the theater from noon to 6PM, Tuesdays to Fridays, and after 2PM on the day of the show.
