African Songs of Life

Event Description
Nii Armah Sowah, senior instructor of theatre and dance, will introduce soulful African songs and chants from across the continent to deepen understanding of some of the varied cultures of Africa. All songs are taught through the "oral tradition" format and will be intertwined with dance, stories, conversations, rhythms, proverbs, and anecdotes that reflect the nature of community life in Africa. Participants will have an opportunity to experience the "African musical sensibility" as well as to develop an appreciation for the philosophical foundations of the arts in community life.

This program is part of the CU on the Weekend program, a series of one-day classes offered through Continuing Education. Take advantage of the unique opportunity to interact with some of CU-Boulder's best faculty and learn more about their academic passions. For complete class descriptions visit conted.colorado.edu/programs/cu-on-the-weekend. Advance registration is required.  

Note: Students should wear comfortable clothing to allow freedom of movement.
