The original Capitol Hill museum was founded June 3, 1964, by Warren Robbins in a townhouse that was originally the home of abolitionist Frederick Douglass from 1871 to 1877. The anniversary year will honor Robbins’ vision of “cross-cultural communication through education in the arts of Africa.
“I want all ages to experience this special 50th-anniversary celebration at the National Museum of African Art,” said Maya Angelou, the honorary chair of the museum’s national campaign. “You can sing the songs, dance the dances, see the sculptures and hear the melodies. Not only do you belong to the museum, it belongs to you. Congratulations for the happy anniversary.”

Atlas Intersections Arts Festival's
third week peaks with a late night tribute to Roots music. At 10 p.m.
March 7th, Eme & Heteru take the stage with a
high-energy, one hour show that presents short, dramatic interpretations
of the evolution of popular African rhythms.
This particular
production relives the significance of the 70s Afro Roots generation.The
band's selection of upbeat dance tunes, chosen from an era of conflict
of cultures and of struggles for artistic freedom of expression,
celebrates pioneers such as Fela Kuti, Manu Dibango, Miriam Makeba and
Ebo Taylor. These Originals inspired artists such as Alpha Blondy, Gigi,
and of course the producers of the show- DC's own Eme and Heteru.
The show is on Mar. 7th, 2014, at 10:00 P.M. The venue is Atlas
Performing Arts Center, 1333 H Street, N.E. Washington D.C. 20002

TRILOGY, like the rest of your tracks, cuts cleanly and crisply through the genre clutter with a groove that slices directly to the heart with honest power. This is music with teeth, heart, soul and big brass balls.
