Over the years, African Night has brought the Michigan Tech community a taste of the diversity that African culture has to offer through food and exhilarating displays of dance, drama and poetry.

The African Students Organization invites you to a buffet-style dinner at 6-7.30pm in the MUB Ballroom followed by a performance at 8pm in the Rozsa Center this February 28. At the dinner, you will have the chance to indulge in dishes that capture the continent’s varied flavors, ranging from keftas, peri-peri chicken, coconut-flavored rice (vegetarian and non vegetarian), fried plantains, and an Ethiopian vegetable stew. Dances from South Africa, Central and West Africa, drumming from Ghana as well as a fashion show, woven together by a light-hearted story, introduce the main act: the Detroit School of Fine and Performing Arts Dance Ensemble. These performances echo the night’s theme, Enije, Ghanian for celebration, as they relate the highs of everyday living and African history.

Night of Exquisite African Cuisine and Culture Extravaganza.

Featuring:
The Detroit School of Fine & Performing Arts & Dance Ensemble

Dinner: 6:00-7:30PM MUB Ballroom
Performance: 8-10PM Rozsa Center
