Sunday, March 13
Mikata!
2 – 3 pm
Mikata means all of us in the Ewe language of Ghana. And Mikata invites all of you on a musical journey from West Africa to the Caribbean and Brazil. Winners of two state-wide awards for their contribution to the arts, Mikata has performed at over 500 public schools, festivals, colleges and universities around the country.

Mikata will make your pulse quicken as you chant, clap, and dance to powerful rhythms from Ghana, Nigeria, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, and Brazil. Garbed in colorful costumes, Mikata performs on an array of authentic drums, bells, rattles, flutes and xylophones.
All of Mikata's performances include loads of audience participation and cultural explanation. Learn about these wonderful cultures while you dance, sing and clap to the rhythms of Mikata!
