Join master drummer and multi-instrumentalist Kofi Kunkpe in a joyful music and movement workshop. Originally from Cape Coast, Ghana, Kofi is a keeper of his culture who is passionate about sharing the songs, dances, and rhythms of West Africa.

You and your child will groove together, try out some pint-sized percussion, and learn songs you can take home to continue the musical exploration with your little one.

Please note, this workshop has some amplified sound.
