Join us as we follow the mozambique to the streets of New Orleans! Local dance group Dile Que NOLA paraded with the Krewe of Zulu on Mardi Gras Day, representing the mozambique – and Cuban culture – as part of a New Orleans tradition that likewise brings “Africa” and Africanness to the fore in creative, festive, and multilayered spectacular fashion. The event will feature a screening of a new ethnographic documentary, Mozambique: Carnival Rhythm in New Orleans / Mozambique: Ritmo carnavalesco en Nueva Orleans, followed by a panel discussion with participants. This event is supported by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities.
