\nOXFORD, Miss. – The African Drum and Dance Ensemble at the
\nUniversity of Mississippi presents its annual spring
\nconcert at 8 p.m. Tuesday (April 15) in Nutt Auditorium.
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThe free concert, “The Beauty of Diversity and Humanity,”
\nincludes African dances such as Tokoe, Gahu and Borborbor.
\nThe highlight on the evening is the premiere of the
\nconcert’s theme song, composed by George Worlasi Kwasi Dor,
\nUM associate professor of music.
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n“The Beauty of Diversity and Humanity” describes a world
\nabsent of humanity and “tainted by injustice, wars and
\ngenocide,” said Dor, director of the Ole Miss African Drum
\nand Dance Ensemble.
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n“But the world is still beautiful, especially when we
\npractice love, tolerance and peace,” he said. “The song
\nconcludes with that fact that humanity needs everyone to
\npledge to be citizens of the globe and be kinder to each
\nother.”
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nOMADDE formed in April 2003 with the purchase of 15
\nhand-carved Ghanaian drums. In March 2005, the group
\nperformed a concert to show off its newly acquired Ghanaian
\ndance costumes acquired with aid from an Associates and
\nPartners Grant. OMADDE has performed at many university
\nevents, including the 2003 Open Doors commemoration, 2003
\nInternational Conference on Race and a 2004 Black History
\nMonth concert.
