NMAAHC Summer of Music presents: Harambee! with Baba Ras D
June 26, 2019
11:00 AM
"Harambee!" is an engaging, hands-on experience for children to celebrate learning through movement and song. In Swahili, Harambee means "all pull together." This program will offer an inclusive and creative space to practice hope, possibility and compassion - all the things that happen when we all come together!
Baba Ras D is excited to return to NMAAHC this summer and offer this one-hour interactive program for children to explore, express their voice, dance, play drums and percussion instruments, shout, or sing-along to songs that build character, confidence and community. Baba Ras D's "Harambee" will be a source of inspiration for children and their caregivers alike.
This program will run weekly (Wednesdays) on June 19, June 26, July 3, and July 17. Registration will open one week prior to the program.
