Farafina Kan: The Sound of Africa is proud to present BIRTHRIGHT: 10th Anniversary Celebration – an elegant evening of pure energy & sheer grace in honor of the spirit of sharing and cultural legacy inspired by West African Dance and Drumming. On this night, you will witness inter-generational performance and the stellar result of an active and intentional transmission of African cultural values, performance, movement and rhythm from one generation to the next with performances by the entire Farafina Kan Family – the children’s ensemble (ages 3 – 7), the youth ensemble (age 7 – 12), the junior company (ages 13 –19) and the adult professional company. BIRTHRIGHT is sponsored in part by Busboys and Poets and The Anacostia Art Gallery and Boutique.
