The 22nd Annual African Marketplace & Cultural Faire (3)

It has been business as usual at the ongoing 22nd Annual African Marketplace & Cultural Faire. Traders, vendors and tourists had fun checking out each special event around the grassless field of Dorsey High School where the expo was really taking place. Even though vendors have complained of low turnout in sales, I still couldn't resist the all drum session that entertained the audience under a tree where they assembled beating the drums the African way. Call it "drums of passion" if you like and who cares whether you habla Espanol or not, folks from all walks of life trooped in to watch an under the tree drum session which had a snatch of Latin American congas beats with some salsa flavor.
