Attend a Drum Dialogue honouring the Fourth Session of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, the 10th anniversary of the “Ark of Return” Permanent Memorial, and the Second United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent.

Join us for a powerful cultural experience, “Beats of Solidarity - Drumming for Peace and Equity” - at UN Headquarters in New York. This special gathering will feature master drummers representing the rich traditions of Africa and the African Diaspora, with artists hailing from Guinea, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Brazil, and Trinidad & Tobago, uniting through rhythm, culture, and spirit. The Drum Dialogue is more than a performance. It is a call to remember, honour, and uplift the voices and lived experiences of people of African descent worldwide. Through the universal language of percussion, we aim to amplify cultural resilience and unity that spans generations.


Monday April 14, 2025 1:15pm - 3:00pm EDT
South Visitors Plaza, UN Headquarters 405 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017, United States
