The fun and irresistibly danceable evening showcases traditional and contemporary music and dance from West Africa and Latin America, with professional and community group performances.

Instead of a silent auction, there will be an online fundraiser this year (details to come).
$10 suggested minimum donation, children under 12 free.

The fundraiser is organized by Mandjou Mara and Maya Kadakia of Limanya Drum and Dance Ensemble. Mandjou Mara is a master drummer and griot from Guinea who now lives and teaches in Madison.
