Sound of Africa 2009

Saturday - April 25, 2009

This event, like others past, was enjoyable and memorable. It was a celebration of African dance, food, and culture. Lots of performances, powerpoint slides, a beautiful talk by a Nigerian lady on why children are on the streets of Africa, a call to raise funds for clean drinking water in parts of the continent. The turnout, as always, was very good. Approximately 300 people. For more pictures, visit the African Students Organization website by clicking here.

A drumming performance

A dance from Cameroon

African Aya gave an outstanding performance

This guy was something else. He led the African Aya group in drumming. He can drum like nothing you've seen before.

At one point, the audience was called to dance to the music.

This kid was having a good time too!

Our friend, J.P., from Gabon was in the mood!

And his sister, Bricia, was equally having a great time.

This lady was one of the dancers for African Aya.
