The Beat Goes On Tomorrow, members of the University and Charlottesville communities can march to the beat of a different drummer - or drummers, that is. In celebration of Black History Month, members of the Afrikan Drum Festival will perform in traditional costume Friday in the Newcomb Hall Ballroom between 3:30-4:30 p.m. Co-sponsored by the University Library's Multicultural Issues Committee and the Office of African-American Affairs, the event will feature three costumed drummers and two dancers performing classic African and ethnic instrumentation, along with traditional vocals and dance. "It's such a joyous and fun occasion," MIC chairwoman Melinda Baumann said. The spirited and lively show will seek to include the audience in the performance, Baumann said.
