Music and dance of West Africa showcased in Shoreline

Saturday, July 25, 2015 from 7:00pm to 10:00pm, Shorewood High School Performing Arts Center, 17300 Fremont Ave N, Shoreline 98133

Under the direction of Ghanaian-born griot and percussionist Eben Pobee (JHP Cultural and Diversity Legacy), The Cultural Heritage is a myriad of music and dance traditions practiced by West African artists.

This year's exceptional program features world-renowned guest performers representing Ghana, Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Nigeria, Guinea, and Liberia. As the Program acknowledges the vast influence of West African performance traditions throughout the African Diaspora, 2015 performers include local Obo Addy Legacy Project- Okropong artists sharing music and dance from Ghana and West Africa at large, featuring the Seattle Cultural Crew.

CULTURAL HERITAGE 2015 will present a vibrant and unique celebration featuring unparalleled music and dance performance -- an African Chief Installation / Procession process, an art of exhibition on how A Ghanaian Chief is installed, not to mention live Band Music led by Portland based Saeeda Wright! (currently one of the background singers for PRINCE).

JHP Cultural and Diversity Legacy has the ability to celebrate past traditions while expanding to embrace new ideas and foreign influences through traditional music and dance.

The gift for that night would be a 30 minute Fashion Show with "Adeshie Collections" owned by Emmanuel Arhu and Fred Amankwaah- Beautifully Designed African clothing for men!
