Meeting Room In celebration of Teen Read Week, Aina Haina is proud to present this free performance for music enthusiasts of all ages! Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience the rich culture of Cuba, Haiti, Congo, Zimbabwe, and the Yoruba people of Nigeria. This music is ancestral to blues, jazz, rock and roll, and many other genres popular today. Badenyaa will conclude by teaching the African concept of polyrhythm and inviting audience members to play along with the performers!
