DanceAfrica Ticket Giveaway!

Once a year the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) brings <strong>DanceAfrica</strong> to New York for what is always an astounding display of one of the continent's greatest art forms. In a happy bit of coincidence, this year (the festival's 37th edition) showcases the music and movement of Madagascar, the Indian Ocean island that we <a href="https://afropop.test.ejaedesign.com/wp/18415/madagascar-dispatch-2-salegy-roots-in-diego-suarez/">just happen to have visited recently. </a> And to celebrate the occasion? We are giving away tickets. Five pairs! For a chance to win, email info@afropop.org with the subject "I want to DANCE!" The artists featured in this year's festival are the cultural performance ensemble  Groupe Bakomanga (with whom we <a href="https://afropop.test.ejaedesign.com/wp/18474/dispatch-3-madagascar-to-brooklyn-with-groupe-bakomanga/">spent some time with in Madagascar!</a>), the astounding guitarist Madagascar Slim, and the brilliant Hanitra. With the festivities arranged by DanceAfrica's founder and dance director Chuck Davis, we are sure that this isn't a contest (or an event!) to miss. The show will be at 3 p.m., Sunday, May 18 at the Peter Jay Sharp theater.
