MIRAMAR – The Miramar Cultural Center’s celebration of Black History Month culminates on Saturday, February 27 at 7 p.m., with a free performance of “Rhythms of Africa, Music Around the World” by Willie Stewart, of the internationally acclaimed band Third World.
Electrifying and interactive, Rhythms of Africa features guest musicians and 60 local Miramar children ages 8 -13, including a seven-year-old master drummer. Using percussion instruments and techniques, the show matches African rhythms to the Diaspora, tracing the voyage of sounds from Nigeria and the Ivory Coast to Trinidad, Brazil, Cuba, Jamaica, and New Orleans. It’s a journey of African rhythms around the world, heard in contemporary musical influences such as Icons as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley , whose music is celebrated at the show’s conclusion.
Vouchers for tickets to the free performance are available online at MiramarCulturalCenter.org or at the Cultural Center’s Box office window. Vouchers must be redeemed at the box office starting two hours before show time on Saturday, February 27th. For additional information, please visit the website or call (954) 602-4500.
