A FREE performance of music from Africa through the Americas
at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn on Friday, October 4, 2013, at 10:00 am.
Okaidja & Shókoto takes you on a musical journey from
Africa through the Americas with exultant compositions,
soulful vocals, and energetic dancing.
The group’s family-friendly mixture of

Their music draws on West African roots and the diverse music of the
African Diaspora to create a dynamic fusion of rhythms from Ghana, Brazil,
Cuba, Peru, and the Deep South.

world arts, and is free to the public.
