With too many negative representations of Africa, entrenched in images of war, disease, poverty, and famine, our festival seeks to redress the balance and highlight the fantastic range of cultures, foods, music, and artists that make this great continent one of the most vibrant and emerging in the world. Taste of Africa aims to show Africa before it was colonized. It aims to bring unity and celebrate the diversity of Africa. Tickets include | • Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony • Kemetic Yoga (Egypt) • Afro-Beat Dance workshop (Nigeria) • Live African entertainment by Eyo, the Stilt Walker (West Africa), Djelia Kadi West African Drum & Dance Ensemble (Burkina Faso), Akayaa Atule and Bolga Zohdoomah (Ghana) and Ibrahima Ba (Senegal). • Also don’t miss the jallof rice competition! Travel the world through taste and support San Diego’s local restaurants and caterers with food from Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sudan and Liberia. Also try wine from Ethiopia and Nigeria. Food and drinks sold separately by each vendor.
