Join us for a special showcase of world music on April 19th, 2024 as Discovery Park of America hosts Roots of Rhythm. This show is an exciting blend of musical performances and educational lessons on music from the African diaspora.

Roots of Rhythm is a one-of-a-kind experience that elevates cultural awareness about music from around the globe through energetic performances and engaging audience participation activities. It is an interdisciplinary voyage that encompasses world history and geography through the lens of music, coinciding with the National Standards for Arts Education.
