“The audience definitely gets into the performance,” said Mr. Rumberger, head of the World Languages Department, who helped organize the visit.
The show will be an hour and a half long. The group will introduce instruments, play songs for the audience, work with student musicians, and be joined by the music group on stage.
This will be for cultural education for students, done in a fun and memorable way, Mr. Rumberger said. It also teaches students about origins of this type of music, including Africa, America, Europe, and Spain. It describes how it all comes together and creates entirely new and innovative types of music.
