Program Types: In School Performance
This high energy performance engages students through the exploration of Nigerian Afro-beat music with an emphasis on instrument families, percussion rhythms, call and response, and socially derived lyrics. After interacting with live afro-beat and using their bodies as percussion instruments, students brainstorm lyrical content based on positive social experiences at their school. Then Mifune and the school create and perform their own afro-beat song together!
