This weekend, Granite Staters will get a chance to hear the U.S. premiere of a new classical work from South Africa. It's part of A Celebration of African Music taking place this Saturday and Sunday. We'll talk with Plymouth State University's Dan Perkins, the man who's bringing it here. And we'll hear from Theo Martey, the director of a Ghanaian drumming group that's relocated to New England. Join us for an exploration of African sounds and culture in New Hampshire.
