CCC Celebrates Black History Month ith East Kenya’s Jabali Afrika CCC Celebrates Black History Month With East Kenya’s Jabali Afrika The Cleveland Community College Student Government Association is celebrating Black History month with an electrifying performance from the Jabali Afrika band on Thursday, February 24, 2011. This award- winning, innovative mélange of traditional spirituals and rock-reggae arrangements is a pillar of world music festivals and college concerts worldwide. The band’s 250 shows a year and 98 percent rebooking rate say it all, but there’s no replacement for hearing their authentic African drumming rhythms and electric guitars in a live setting. “Our music makes you dance, it uplifts the soul and it educates you. Coming to see Jabali Afrika, you become part of the act, because we kill that barrier between the audience and the band,” says band member Joseck Asikoye. The Jabali Afrika concert will begin at 11 a.m. in the Mildred H. Keeter Auditorium on the CCC campus. It is free and open to the public.
