Enjoy a day-long celebration of Pan-African artistry and musicality on Sunday, August 11, from the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute, in partnership with Harlem Week.
This year's event is titled Afribembé Festival: Rhythms of Home, with a focus on paying tribute to the Motherland of Africa, the Freedom Home of Haiti, and the current home of El Barrio, all the while honoring ancestral roots. The event runs from 4:30-6:30pm at Grant's Tomb at the General Grant National Memorial, and is a part of the larger day-long event from Harlem Week "A Great Day in Harlem."
Expect live music, dance, performing arts and artivism activities. Other performers during "A Great Day in Harlem" include The Gospel Caravan, the Harlem Music Festival All-Star Band led by Ray Chew and other groovy scheduled performers.
