At 17:00 children, artists and families alike will be getting ready for the family procession which starts at 18:00. Join in and get your face painted!
At 18:00 join Siyaya and Diak Haso in the vibrant and colourful family procession as they wind their way through the festival ground showing off the children's handy work. Watch out for those giant puppets, boats marvel at the children's hand made costumes.
Fresh from Africa, colourful, climactic and bursting at the seams with energy, Siyaya presents their "Concert" The West African Djembe meets the Zimbabwean Ngoma and Marimba in an all out vigour, complimented by the lively dances, liquid tones, superb percussion rhythms and the sweet acapella harmonies all resembling the rich cultures and traditions of Africa.
(Biography supplied by artist management- 2009)
Africa is the heart of music and dance, these artistic expressions were a reflection of the feelings of the people, being an essential part of their culture, drenching life, history and present in Africa as well as in any part of the world.
African music is the base of many rhythmical styles, with different expressions and a mix of multiethnic relationships.
Diak Haso wish to share the feeling of African and Cuban music and to encourage the audience to participate in dance, surrendering to rhythm, sensations and pleasure.
