Africa comes to the Bronx this month when the Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture presents “The African Drum,” where kids ages 3–7 sing and dance their way on a trip through the grasslands.
Kijana and her animal friends, including talking leopards, a wise old loon, and a turtle, teach life’s lessons as they lead the children on a wondrous adventure through storytelling and traditional African folk tales, including “How the Animals Got Their Colors,” “How the Turtle Got its Shell,” and “Why the Egret Flies Free.”
The fables are accompanied by original and traditional African music performed on the “talking drum” and other authentic African instruments.
Tickets are $10 for the hour-long show and can be purchased by calling the box office at (212) 724-0677.
“The African Drum” at The Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture [450 Grand Concourse at 149th Street in Mott Haven, (212) 724-0677] Feb. 7, 8 and 9 at 10 and 11 am. For more, visit www.shadowboxtheatre.org.
