From Drums to Bagpipes: Classic 107 Cruiser tours global traditions and rhythms

The Classic 107 Cruiser cruised to the Africa Pavilion at Tec Voc High School, 1555 Wall Street on Friday evening.  

It then zoomed off to the Ethiopian Pavilion at the Ethiopian Cultural Center, 215 Selkirk Avenue. It ended its night at the British Isles Pavilion at the Heather Curling Club, 120 Rue Youville.

The Africa Pavilion showcased energetic performances from across the continent, featuring West African-inspired dance and musical performances inspired by Eastern and Southern Africa.

The Ethiopian Pavilion engaged the audience through exciting dance performances from all over Ethiopia. The Pavilion taught the audience some dance moves, celebratory sounds, shared historical facts about Ethiopia, and even served authentic Ethiopian coffee, a staple in its cuisine.

The British Isles Pavilion featured different cultural dances from the British Isles, which include Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and smaller islands in the surrounding region. 

The show had live music that included both modern and classic pieces from the British Isles.

The Classic 107 Cruiser enjoyed its journey through the different pavilions this week and is excited to do it again with brand new pavilions next week!
