The Art in the Loop Music Series takes place between 11: 30 .m. and 12:30 p.m. on Wednesdays throughout the summer.  On Wednesday, May, 24, Echoes of Africa performs at City Market Park (3rd & Main Street).

Echoes of Africa Drumming Ensemble draws from the ancient and yet still very contemporary folkloric musical traditions of western and southern Africa, as well as the occasional foray into the Afro-Latin musical traditions of the Americas—all cultures where percussion-based music serves as a central fixture in life’s experiences.

BRING YOUR CONGA, DJEMBE, SHAKER, or BELL, and join-in on the music making on ‘Cue!’, as each set wraps-up with an all-play celebration of Kansas City community drumming!
