Professor Nadine George-Graves, author of the recently published book "Urban Bush Women: Twenty Years of African American Dance Theater, Community Engagement, and Working It Out," will bring her perspective and share in the conversation with Jawole about how UBW has worked it out all these years.

Our annual all-day celebration of African music, food and culture builds to an ecstatic crescendo with the distortion-fueled trance music of Congolese thumb-piano wizards Konono No. 1. Dakar heavyweights Omar Pene & Super Diamono, seminal figures in the birth of the modern Senegalese sound, add a jolt of energy to the proceedings, while the distinctive voice of Zimbabwean Afro-soul diva Chiwoniso, the pan-African reggae of Meta & The Cornerstones, and the festival horns and drums from Haiti’s Djarara bring other unique flavors to the day.
The African Festival is presented with support from The South African Consulate General.
