Recorders and Singers at MCE January 22

By now just about all the students at Open Window--including Vista--have heard a catchy gospel song from South Africa called "Ipharadisi" ("ee-parr-ah-dee-see").  We've been learning it because this Saturday's Multi-Cultural Event, at the Baha'i Center near Crossroads in Bellevue, will celebrate Africa.  Recorder players and choir members attending the event will want to be sure to be present at 6:30, when we'll kick off the entertainment portion of the evening by performing Ipharadisi.  Students will be joined by YAAMBA marimba, one of the Zimbabwean-style bands which have grown up in the Pacific Northwest from seeds planted by Dumisani Maraire.  Should be great fun!
