An evening with Sabouyouma
SATURDAY, AUGUST 22
6-9pm Music and Dinner
4-5:30pm Discussion group: Expanding multi-cultural programming in area
schools
Fable Farm Orchard in Barnard, Vermont
TICKETS Sliding Scale Tickets begin at $15. Select $15, and select "add
donation" at check-out to raise your level, or bring additional cash or
check donations to the event. $50 and $100 tickets are also available
to support the fundraiser. $15 base fee covers music and overhead
costs. Food and labor are being donated to support the fundraiser and
keep base costs low.
THE FUNDRAISER This fundraiser will support diverse arts programming in
Vermont schools, including multi-cultural artist visits to local schools
(outdoors or on-line for 2020/21) and the Clemmons Family Farm in
Charlotte, VT, which is currently unrolling a "Window to a
Multi-cultural World" Curriculum for use in Vermont schools.
THE MUSIC West African Afro-fusion funk band Sabouyouma will headline
the event. Led by Ousmane Camara, a singer, balafon player and griot
from Guinea, Sabouyouma is described by Seven Days as "more than just
world music; it is world class."

THE DINNER A dinner will be provided by Feast and Field Farmers
featuring a delicious locally raised spread of braised beef, polenta,
and salads, all included in the sliding scale admission. Community pie
for dessert! We are seeking pie donations for us to serve from our
Covid-safe kitchen.
DISCUSSION GROUP Prior to the concert, parents, teachers, school
administrators, arts administrators, activists, concerned citizens, and
funders are invited for a conversation; what can we do to support
schools and students right now in this unique time of hybrid learning to
address the challenging topic of racial inequality and to combat racism?
Many Vermonters may think that racism isn't a problem here. Vermont is
the state of Bernie Sanders, but that does not mean that intolerance
doesn't live here too, and listening to the experiences of black
students growing up in Vermont (and adults who move here) shows we have
work to do. To register for this conversation (4-5:30) visit the Music
on the Farm page of Barnarts.org.
In case of rain, the event will be rescheduled due to lack of coverage
for social distancing. Some tables and chairs are available, but
bringing your own picnic blankets and chairs is encouraged.
