About this event

  • 3 hours 30 minutes

The Festival of Nations is teaming up with Music at the Intersection and the Kranzberg Arts Foundation to showcase local talent all summer long. Join us at The Dark Room on June 23 for music from Paa Kow & an all-around great time.

Paa Kow is a Ghana born drummer and composer who blends rhythm and artistry from his home with jazz and African roots, creating his own Afro-Fusion sound. Dubbed "Ghana's most artistic drummer" (Modern Ghana), he plays a custom, hand-carved, traditionally inspired Ghanaian drum set that is the only one of its kind in the world. Growing up in the small village of Enyan Denkyira near Cape Coast in Ghana, West Africa, Paa Kow began to play music and tour with his family’s concert band at a very early age. He now spreads the music and culture of his homeland by touring the world with his Afro-Fusion Orchestra.

Doors at 4:30. Show starts at 5:00.
