SUMMARY:Concert: Theo Martey and the Akwaaba Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:End the Festival Day with an outdoor concert featuring master percussionist\, dancer\, and teacher\, Theophilus Nii Martey. Originally from Ghana\, West Africa and now living in Manchester\, NH\, Theo is a master of West African drumming and dance\, a heritage that has many subtle variations in rhythmic patterns\, dance styles\, and costumes all specific to a wide diversity of tribal groups from the region.
