CCC offers Visiting Artist Samputu & Ingeli

Clinton Community College is pleased to present the next Visiting Artist program. Audiences are in for a musical treat on Tuesday, April 29 with the Rwandan music of Samputu & Ingeli.

Having emerged victorious from the fire of Rwandan genocide, Jean Paul Samputu has established himself as one of the most prominent African artists on the world stage. He travels the world as a cultural ambassador for Rwanda, bringing to his audiences not only traditional African singing, dancing and drumming but also a message of peace and reconciliation.

Since the Visiting Artist Series began as an arts outreach program in 1973, the program has become one of the most ambitious of its kind in the country. The program presents the performances at no cost to the public. The performance begins at 7:00 p.m. and will be held at the college’s Graphic Arts Technology Center (GATCI), 1951 Manufacturing Drive. For more information, contact Anne Schmidt at 563-244-7050.
