For 20 years, the sights and sounds of African culture have come alive in Greater Sudbury and this Saturday will make it 21 years of African Cabaret.
The doors at MacDonald-Cartier Secondary School open at 6 p.m. on Feb. 29.
The cabaret promises traditional homemade food and great dance music. Your ticket purchase also gets you a one-of-a-kind Congo-inspired necklace to make the memories last.
“African tradition is a large part of Sudbury history, as many immigrants arrive in Canada and seek the help of Contact Interculturel Francophone de Sudbury(CIFS) to start a new life,” event organizer Gouled Hassan said in a news release.
“This event has been the place they can all gather and connect, sharing stories of triumph and struggle.”
Montreal band Naxx Mwa Ndaya will perform, sharing Congolese songs sure to make you groove, followed by a fashion show featuring items in vibrant African colours.
In partnership with Northern Lights Festival Boreal, every ticket sold comes with a 10 per cent discount to the BLOOM 2 Festival, March 6-7.
“Bloom and the African Cabaret share one goal: bringing the rhythms of world music to Sudbury.”
Tickets are $35 for adults, $25 for students/seniors over 65, and $15 for children. Tables of eight are available for purchase. Buy your tickets at Kuppajo Espresso Bar on Larch Street or online at Eventbrite here.
