Rhythmic Cultures Perform at Washington

Washington students enjoyed a performance by Rhythmic Cultures.  The performance introduced students to Appalachian, African (Zulu) and Louisiana (Cajun) cultures and music.  The students had the opportunity to explore a variety of instruments and were invited on stage throughout the program to accompany the artists on an array of instruments, including banjos, mandolins and fiddles, balfones, hardwood drums, shakaras, manyangas, spoons, washboards and triangles.  Joining the students were "lumberjack" clog dancing puppets who danced along with the students!  The program was made possible by Gateway to the Arts.
