Fort Wayne youth are in for a treat

when Moussa Bolokada Conde comes to Fort Wayne, from Octo­ber 22–31, he’ll be work­ing with young peo­ple in four dif­fer­ent settings.Here’s a sam­ple of his work with stu­dents from a school in Tai­wan. (Check­out the stu­dent jenbe soloists.)

On Sun­day, he’ll work with the stu­dents of the Three Rivers Jenbe Ensem­ble, in lieu of their per­for­mance Sat­ur­day, Octo­ber 29th, when they open for Bolokada and the Sum­mit City AfroPop Sextet.

On Mon­day, he’ll per­form in an assem­bly at St. Joe Cen­ter Ele­men­tary school. On Tues­day and Thurs­day, he’ll con­duct work­shops for chil­dren at two Montes­sori schools. 

A mas­ter player, folk­lorist and teacher, the stu­dents have a lot to look for­ward to from this cul­tural learn­ing experience.
