Arts council presents African rhythm music

Staying true to their mission to enhance the community through opportunities for artistic expression, learning and appreciation, the Sanders County Arts Council welcomes music lovers to enjoy the next scheduled event in their Tapestry series of performing arts.

Okaidja Afroso will lead his group of melodic percussionists in a performance of “joyous, rhythmic, tragic and uplifting” songs. The high energy group’s music is said to embody the vast, imperfect human story that is hardwired within all of us.

Scheduled to perform at the Rex Theatre in Thompson Falls, Saturday, November 17 at 7:30 p.m., fans of artistic expression can purchase tickets in advance for $15 or $18 at the door (student tickets are always $5). Advance tickets can be found at First Security Bank in Thompson Falls and Plains, Garden Gift & Floral in Plains, or D&D Liquor in Thompson Falls. Tickets and season tickets for all performances can be found online at sanderscountyarts.org.
