Spirit of Africa

This is a one day festival from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Please feel free to attend as long as you'd like and join us from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. It's free and open to the public. Here's some more information from the website: * "Black4Tech is passionately dedicated to breaking down systemic barriers that have historically marginalized Black representation in the technology sector. Through our collaboration, we highlight the intersection of creativity and innovation, empowering Black voices and talents in the digital realm." * "Spirit of Africa is a celebration of the music, dance, and culture of Africa. The festival showcases the cultural and ethnic traditions of African countries and the African diaspora for the enjoyment and enlightenment of the broader community." * "The festival also brings out-of-town artists to perform individually and also together with local African artists, showcasing the amazing talents of the guest artists and the excellent talent found in the Seattle area. Together, this group represents the music, dance and culture from many different African countries." * "Founded and produced by a local Senegalese Griot musician, Spirit of Africa was formerly known as the Spirit of West Africa. In a conscious effort to rebrand and be inclusive, the festival now celebrates the whole African continent and African diaspora." https://seattlecenter.com/events/featured-events/festal/spirit-of-africa
