Better Together Syracuse and the Office of Engagement Programs in Hendricks Chapel will present a Rhythm and Roots concert, “We Are The Americas,” on Friday, March 30, at 4:30 p.m. at the Alibrandi Catholic Center, 110 Walnut Place.

The event will feature performances of poetry, movement and West African and Afro-Caribbean rhythms by Rhythm and Roots, joint University and community drum ensemble of performers from SU and Westside Academy at Blodgett.
