I had the best time this year at PANAFEST in Silver Spring!!!! The yummy smell in the air was magnetic. The drums in the distance summoned me. The vibe of the people were welcoming & the fashions made me want to head straight for the nearest bank to take out a HEFTY loan! LOL
FROM INTRIGUED SPECTATORS TO FRONT AND CENTER DANCERS!! THESE BEAUTIES DANCED TIL THEY WERE SATISFIED AND DANCED WELL!!!!! IT'S A PARTY!!
If you've already experienced this event for yourself then YOU ALREADY KNOW!!! If not, it would be a blatant injustice not to tell you what you're missing out on! Tasty food, great vendors, poetry, dance, song, fashion, jewelry, art and more!!! http://www.panafestusa.net/
Can you say ELIKEH?!!!!
Elikeh is an Afropop band based in Washington DC, founded by the Togolese, Serge Massama Dogo. Elikeh uses elements of Togolese rhythms as a foundation for exploration into American-influenced blues, funk and rock to produce captivating Afro-pop tunes that are as listenable as they are danceable. Although based in indigenous traditions, Elikeh’s music has no borders, exploring global themes and personal odysseys. The sound is very close to Osibisa and Fela Kuti.
I'm sure you've already figured out that this INCREDIBLE BAND was playing their hearts out and yes, I danced til I broke a sweat & I assure you it had nothing to do with it being nearly 100 degrees that day! LOL Both the young and the young at heart gave it everything they had as we tapped a toe, swayed our hips, waved our arms and let the breeze flutter through our fingers!!! It's a certified CELEBRATION!!!
