"Every year, the streets of downtown Asheville NC rumble with the beating of West African drums, ring with the harmonic horn lines of funk, groove with the rhythmic sounds of reggae and the melodic voices of soul." Goombay! Asheville is celebration of both African and Caribbean culture which occurs annually at what is know as "block" in beautiful Asheville, NC. "The block" is located at Historic Eagle Street and Market Street.
This is also where you will find the YMI Center. The YMI is a community based organization that provides various programs, events, opportunities and more for those in and around the community and throughout the city of Asheville. This year the YMI has partnered with Powerhaus Productions to manage the event.
I will attend Goombay! Asheville on tomorrow; August 26, hopefully it will be as much as I'm looking forward to.
Thanks for reading!
