✚ Voices of Africa by Meg Augustin

Another offshoot of the Penn Museum’s “Imagine Africa” exhibition, the Museum is hosting a communal concert with the West African-influenced group, Voices of Africa. Blending a cappella harmonies with a variety of percussion instruments, the group will perform songs related to the African diaspora, from traditional African songs and percussive rhythms to African-American gospel. Audience members can get in on the fun with an hourlong workshop on drumming techniques, traditional dance and the history of African sounds.

Wed., Feb. 22, 6-8 p.m., $10, Penn Museum, 3260 South St., 215-898-4000, penn.museum.
