CARIBBEAT: A celebration of arts, music and more at 4-day International African Arts Festival coming to Brooklyn
By Jared McCallister
The International African Arts Festival is returning to Brooklyn’s Commodore Barry Park Saturday with a host of anticipated activities — and an entertainment lineup that will thrill cultural mavens and music fans.
Reggae performer Denroy Morgan of “I’ll Do Anything for You” fame, funky James Brown band veteran Fred Wesley and the New JBs, Latin music star Tito Puente Jr., and the Kulu Mele African Drum and Dance Ensemble are among the scheduled performers during the four-day event, which runs Saturday through July 4 in the park on Navy St. (between Park and Flushing Aves.) in Fort Greene.
In addition to the performances, there are attractions and activities for adults and children, such as the "Culture, Community and Struggle" symposium, daily children's programs, a talent search, an arts and craft zone, a chess tournament, a natural hair show, a fashion show, health fair, poetry and spoken word shows, martial arts exhibitions and African dance workshops.
