About this program

Fana Soro introduces participants to traditional rhythms and songs of the djembé, West Africa’s most popular drum. Participants will gain a basic understanding of the drumming connected to the dances and songs of the Senoufo culture.

About the artist

Fana Soro is a hereditary master of the balafon, West Africa’s big wooden xylophone. Fana hails from the Senoufo tribe in northern Cote d’Ivoire and spent 9 years as a member of the prestigious Ballet National de Cote d’Ivoire touring England, Holland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Yugoslavia, Martinique and West Africa. In 1990, he moved to Norway to perform throughout the Norwegian educational system and work as Artist in Residence at the International Children’s Museum in Oslo. From there, Fana continued to tour throughout Northern Europe with the celebrated West African group, Super Djembé Kan. In 1997, Fana moved to Vancouver and formed Masabo, a performance group specializing in traditional West African music, dance and story. Fana and his family have made their home in Ottawa since 2010.

 

“We often see negative images and stereotypes of Africa in the media. My goal is to help change those images and show what Africa truly looks like, sounds like, and feels like.”

— Fana Soro

Peterborough Historical Society virtual Zoom public lecture. Dr. Armand La Barge.  Responding to First Nation occupations and protests is one of the most challenging duties that police officers in Canada undertake.  After the 1995 shooting death of an unarmed Indigenous protester by police at the Ipperwash occupation, the Ontario Provincial Police developed a new operational policy known as the OPP Framework that was built on the concepts of mutual respect, peacekeeping, patient negotiation, and the minimal use of force, and only as a last resort.  Dr. La Barge will examine the subsequent application of the Framework in the resolution of more than 700 Indigenous critical incidents since 2007. Dr. La Barge is former Chief York Regional Police, past President of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, former associate member of the First Nations Chiefs of Police Association, recipient of the Order of Ontario and numerous other honours and awards.

Tuesday, 21 March 2023, 7:30 p.m. on Zoom. Register to attend by sending an email note to info@peterboroughhistoricalsociety.ca with "Framework" in the subject line.
