I am very excited about Joloff restaurant participation in this event and looking forward to welcoming them to Hoboken. I have great news that the Honorable Papa Susso, a grand master Kora player will be joining us to play his Kora for the community of Hoboken. Here is his website:(http://tcd.freehosting.net/papasusso.htm). We will also be having Chef Pierre Thiam from Le grand Dakar to present his cook book: http://legranddakar.com/chef.html. To top it we will be having our own Hoboken Mr. Peter Mena of Sol Caribe restaurant to provide a taste of Afro Latin cuisines: http://solcaribeonline.com/
For desert, we will be providing a special tasting of a new Coffee with Garnoderm. Who knew that coffee was discovered in Ethiopia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee Please help circulate the event to get a proud turn out to represent our community of Hoboken. Some friends are bringing special African, Arab Africa, Afro European Caribbean, and African American dishes so there will be plenty of good food, and good music and much more.
