Waldo Branch

Meeting Room

Share the beauty of African life and culture through a unique folkloric performance filled with drumming, dance and storytelling.

For thousands of years in the mystical light of the moon, African children have sat spellbound; listening to stories that both entertain and develop a better sense of the difference between right and wrong. OrisiRisi African Folklore recreates this scene with Moonlight Stories. - an anthology incorporating the African tradition of audience participation including fun-filled call and response type songs, mesmerizing African drumming and dance, children’s games, and much more!
