My husband has a keen interest in learning African dance. I am sure our neighbhors can attest to the loud african drum music on the weekends as he creates his own routines. As luck would have it, Barnafrika, a festival celebrating African culture begins this weekend in Barcelona. We can perfect our dance moves at a dance workshop, listen to different styles of African music, taste African food, listen African folktales or attend a lecture about African culture and current events.
