Carleton Music\u2019s West African Rhythm Ensemble<\/a> is pleased to welcome Stacey Can-Tamakloe as our guest artist for the 2024-25 season.  Stacey has been working with the ensemble throughout the Fall and Winter terms and will perform with the group at their concert<\/a> on April 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stacey will also present a public Workshop and Artist Talk<\/a> on Sunday March 9th<\/sup> from 3-5pm in the Carleton Music Program,  Loeb A900.  She will teach some traditional Adenkum <\/em>repertoire, which features the percussive use of the gourd as well as singing.  The workshop is $15 for the general public and free for Carleton students with ID (at the door). Instruments provided, and all welcome! Register for the event here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stacey Dela Can-Tamakloe<\/strong>  came to Canada as an international student from Ghana in 2021.  She recently graduated with a master’s degree in Music and Culture from Carleton University in Ottawa. Stacey\u2019s undergraduate degree is from the University of Ghana in Legon where she focused on music and dance studies. While a student at Carleton, Stacey pursued her interest in gender roles in Ghanaian popular and traditional music and was a Graduate Research Assistant for the \u201cReimagining the Global Music Ensemble\u201d project by Kathy Armstrong at the Research Centre for Music, Sound and Society in Canada<\/a> . Stacey also assisted in coaching Carleton\u2019s West African Rhythm Ensemble, and is thrilled to be back as their guest artist this season, teaching new Adenkum<\/em> repertoire to the group. Stacey also works as MASC teaching artist in the Ottawa community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stacey\u2019s guest artist residency is made possible through the Baobab Collaborative Arts Fund<\/a> which provides support for projects that enhance and expand the experiential study of cultural disciplines from Africa and the African diaspora.  The fund serves students in Carleton Music, and in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences more generally. Endowed in 2021 as a legacy project by Baobab Drum Dance Community<\/em> and its supporters, this fund honours Baobab\u2019s significant achievements in intercultural arts education, and provides new opportunities for current and future generations of students at Carleton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
