Another Great Taste of Africa by Makeda Cheatom
Taste of Africa was an unforgettable celebration, filled with vibrant flavors and rhythms from across the continent. Brothers and sisters from all corners of Africa, along with people of all backgrounds and ages, came together to enjoy the rich culinary arts of African heritage.
This year’s event honored Ghana, and we were truly blessed to welcome the Wazumbians, whose electric energy lit up the stage. Their infectious rhythms had the crowd dancing and singing along, creating an atmosphere of pure joy. Another highlight was the dynamic performance by WorldBeat’s African Drum and Dance Ensemble. Drummers in the audience brought their instruments and joined in, while the crowd gathered on their feet to experience the joy of African dance firsthand.
We extend a heartfelt thank-you to our drummers and dancers Nara, Nikki, and Nyrei for their dedication and support in making this event so special.
As for the food, it was nothing short of extraordinary! Returning favorites included Lucy Ethiopian Food, Olivia’s Kitchen from Ghana, and Spicey Kitchen from Nigeria, each offering dishes that delighted the senses. This year, we were also excited to welcome Rafikizfoodz from Kenya, which quickly became a crowd favorite with rave reviews.
