an ArtWeek SouthCoast event

The MAC welcomes Crocodile River Music during ArtWeek SouthCoast, a local 10-day festival celebrating the place and presence of art in our communities. This multicultural program presents west African music and culture through dance, song, costume, and rhythm. The 10-12 person group of musicians, singers, and performers will share their knowledge through use of authentic handmade instruments, traditional attire, movement, and art.

Crocodile River Music was established in 2011 by Zach Combs and Issa Coulibaly to support African artists in presenting music, dance, and art that both educates and connects audiences of all ages, backgrounds, and capabilities. Since 2012, the program has served over 200,000 students in its first ten years, leaving a lasting impact through interactive workshops, compelling performances, and engaging school residencies.

This program is generously supported by the Marion Cultural Council, the Mattapoisett Cultural Council, and the Rochester Cultural Council, local chapters of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Special thanks to the MAC members whose generosity is helping fund this event.
