Manguito!!

What a blast we all had at the musical performance by Manguito last week!  In addition to clapping, singing and dancing, we had the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of percussion instruments including the Conga and Bongo drums, the Shekere, the Campana, the Timbale, the Clave, the Maracas and the Tamborra.  The musicians taught us about the role of multiple rhythms in their music and about the combination of European, African and Native American traditions within their compositions.  This was a very special treat brought to us by our generous PTO. Thanks very much, SES PTO!
