It’s really a celebration of arts and culture,” Tickles said. “It’s great to see the community come here and just hang out at the museum.” As its last concert of the semester, ADEKU performed traditional African songs called Fankani, Kuku and Konowulen that have specific stories and cultural purposes behind them.
