Dozens of children and parents crowded into the Northgate Community Center just before noon Tuesday to celebrate life with members of the Adefua Music & Dance Co.
The call-and-response drumming, singing and dancing was part of The Seattle Public Library’s Summer Reading Program. The group brought extra drums and invited kids to play along with the music.
The performance was at the community center, 10510 Fifth Ave. N.E.. The next Summer Reading Program event in Maple Leaf is a “Hands-On Henna Workshop for Teens” at the Northgate Branch library, 10548 Fifth Ave. N.E., right next to the community center. It’s for ages 12-18 at 3 p.m. Wednesday, June 23. Please register with the branch.
