In honor of Black History Month, internationally known drummers and dance company, WACONGO, will be

The event is being sponsored by the TNCC Cultural Affairs Committee, and is free and open to the public.

drummers, dancers and musicians from the Democratic Republic of Congo, who perform the ancestral songs
and dances of Central Africa. WACONGO
artists have extensively toured Europe,
Asia, and North and South America.
Shar Wolff, TNCC Cultural Affairs
Committee Chair said, "Their costumes
have to be some of the most beautiful I
have seen. They have an amazing
energy.” She added, “We’re very fortunate
to have performers of this caliber coming
to our College.”
WACONGO promotes African culture by
presenting the arts of 400 African ethnic
