World music at Dartmouth
Dartmouth College's, Hopkins Center for the Arts, is well worth the drive if you care to see great performances by artists from all over the world. The Spaulding Auditorium hosts a three parts series, beginning Saturday, Nov. 1, when World Music Percussion Ensemble, Drums, Chants, and the Spoken Word with Djembe and Sabar Side of Rhythm and Blues serenades the audience with a diversity of traditions and powerful playing.

Led by ethnomusicologist [what?!], drummer and Adjunct Associate Professor of Music Hafiz Shabazz since 1984, the group constantly explores music such as Afro-pop, Brazilian, Indian, and Caribbean to jazz. The group invites professional musicians of many kinds to join them in their concert series, some in the past being Luther Johnson, or master drummer Abdoul Doumbia.
Hopkins Center for the Arts general admission tickets are $12, Dartmouth students $3, all other students $6.
