Rhythms of the Village

Rhythms of The Village is a family-owned and operated business established in 2013, serving as a vibrant center for African heritage, art, and culture. The store offers a curated selection of cultural accessories and hand-sewn garments tailored to fit every size, emphasizing both authenticity and craftsmanship. With a deep appreciation for African traditions, Rhythms of The Village is more than a retail space it's a celebration of history, identity, and artistic expression.

Beyond its unique retail offerings, Rhythms of The Village is dedicated to cultural education and community engagement. The business hosts a wide array of classes in West African drumming, Afro-Cuban percussion, and Nigerian languages such as Igbo and Yoruba, as well as African history sessions that explore the continent's diverse narratives. The biannual Village Market & Festival further reflects this commitment, uniting over 50 local artisans and showcasing multicultural performances, crafts, and cuisine. Led by Baba Onochie Chukwurah, the Rhythms of The Family Band adds to the cultural richness, performing Nigerian Highlife Fusion music that bridges traditional rhythms with modern sounds. Together, these efforts make Rhythms of the Village a cornerstone for cultural preservation, artistic celebration, and community connection.
