Kenwood’s first- and fourth-grade students studied beats and moves with Brother Ghana M’Baye for a month, then performed rousing concerts for caregivers and friends. This is the sixteenth school year that Kenwood students have had the chance to learn African drumming and dance from Brother Ghana.
“It’s a joy to see kids light up when they work with talented artists like Brother Ghana through our residencies program,” said Alyssa Pollack, instructional coach at Kenwood School. “Through unique learning experiences with art, music, dance and even food via experts from the greater Minneapolis community, students gain opportunities to shine beyond the core traditional components of our curriculum.” And shine they do!
