drumming and dance traditions. From Africa to the
Caribbean; South, Central and North America, World Rhythm Synergy is a musical field trip that students can
envision while learning history. Throughout this

Caribbean rhythms and folklore that help explain the
connection between African-American history and
Hispanic heritage. The program - available in English and/or Spanish
will have them playing,
dancing, even rapping!
