Another beautiful day with the Senegal-America Project at Hartford’s Theater of the Performing Arts, where we did two concerts, and facilitated workshops with and for students and faculty at the Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy. Check out “Evolution of The Vibe” CD by the Senegal-America Project available on https://tonyvacca.bandcamp.com/album/evolution-of-the-vibe.
The Honorable Luke Bronin, Mayor of Hartford, Connecticut proclaimed October 27th’s visit from all Arts-Are-Essential Artists to be Global Citizenship Day at Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy https://www.hartfordschools.org/hartford-magnet-trinity-college-academy-hosts-global-citizens-day-music-event/. What an honor and a beautiful event all around! It was great reconnecting, catching up, starting new conversations, and sharing what we love. Wonderful to see the founders of the Senegal-America Project (Massamba Diop and Tony Vacca), shining the light on the infinite possibilities.
Peace, love and gratitude. See you out there!
