African Rhythms show

Last Saturday night, my mom and I attended African Rhythms 15th Anniversary show. It was all that! The constumes were beautiful and the drummers where amazing! African Rhythms is a student-run African Drum and Dance Troupe at the University of Pennsylvania, African Rhythms, affectionately known as "AR", represents the strength and beauty of African culture. Established in 1993 by College of Arts and Sciences senior Raqiba Sealy, the company serves to educate and entertain the University of Pennsylvania and surrounding community through the richness and diversity of the black cultural experience. Ultimately, the group aims to perform dances from Africa and the African Diaspora, specifically: West Africa, the Caribbean, and South America. African Rhythms performs a number of dances which are beautiful, energetic, and exemplify the history and culture of the people and land of Africa and the African Diaspora. The drum is the focal point and serves various functions, such as a voice, telling the story of the dance or a signal to bring the community together.

I sincerely wish I had enough time to be apart of the group.
