Afrobeat for Little Feet with Members of Armo
Date/Time
Location
Barrington Hall at Crissey Farm (426 Stockbridge Rd, Great Barrington, MA 01230, Great Barrington MA)
This daytime concert for kids of all ages (recommended for 1 year up to 100+ years) will feature the same groovy repertoire as any Armo set, while focusing attention on the musical elements that make the music the party starter that it is. That includes explainers about how the different instruments and parts of the music work together to create one of the most danceable sounds in the world! Imagine a funky Young People’s Guide to the Orchestra where the music never stops. Don’t forget to bring your instruments from home to jam along from the crowd! From its inception Afrobeat has been a music of resistance. The music of Fela Anikulapo Kuti has historic ties to the civil rights movement in the United States, and the importance of art in fueling social movements is as vital as ever. This weekend long celebration of rhythm and joy will embody the ideals of embracing our shared humanity to the fullest.
