Global Youth Crush – International Youth Dialogue Series
African Rhythms: Music, Dance, and Global Culture
🎶 One continent. Countless cultures. Various rhythms.🌍
Music is more than just sound—it is a universal language that connects people across cultures. It carries histories, traditions, and collective memories, bringing communities together through rhythm, movement, and storytelling.
For this session, we are delighted to welcome Toi Windham, Co-founder of AfroFest Taiwan, and Boney Kross, a musician, performer, and cultural advocate, to guide participants on an immersive journey exploring African music, dance, and cultural traditions.
From the powerful rhythms of West African drumming, the distinctive melodies of East Africa, and the deep cultural heritage of North Africa, to the vibrant musical expressions of Southern Africa, participants will discover the diversity and creativity of African cultures through storytelling, live demonstrations, and interactive experiences.
This is more than a lecture—it is a cultural journey that invites us to rediscover Africa through music and movement. When we listen to the stories behind different cultures, diversity becomes the foundation for connection, understanding, and meaningful exchange.
✨ Event Highlights
▪️ Explore the diverse music, dance, and cultural traditions across Africa’s four major regions
▪️ Experience the beauty of both traditional and contemporary African culture through interactive activities
▪️ Discover how music transcends languages and borders to connect people around the world
