FOOD TRUCKS • LIVE AND
SILENT AUCTION • RAFFLE • GAMES


LIVE MUSIC BY MAMAJOWALI feat. JOE CRAVEN


This one of a kind fundraising event will prove to be one of the most
memorable nights of the year.  Four food trucks will provide a trip
around the world’s cuisine from Liba Falafel (falafel, sweet potato
fries) to Twister Mexican (vegetarian burritos, fish tacos) to Old World
(eggplant slders, perogies), and Pacific Puffs serving up four kinds of
cream puffs.

Mamajowali features veteran
multi-instrumentalist, Joe Craven (who has performed with Jerry Garcia,
Yo Yo Ma, and David Grisman); award winning musician from Mali, Mamdou
Sidibe; and fingerstyle guitar ace Walter Strauss.  To hear these three
musicians from far flung places collaborate is to take in three souls,
listening and greeting one another in a universal language – seamlessly
interweaving two continents and three bright musical sensibilities. The
blend of kamale ngoni (the hunter’s harp) with six string guitar,
percussion, fiddle, mandolin and singing – is uncommon and familiar
while traditional and innovative – all at the same time. This new
“Afromericana” project places each of these respected N. CA based
artists in a new sound of common ground.

Proceeds from
this event will benefit the Tehiyah Day School tuition assistance fund
that provides essential support to families and students, and allows us
to extend our community, and make Tehiyah Day School accessible to an
economically diverse population.  63% of students that attend Tehiyah
Day School participate in Indexed Tuition, and pay below the maximum end
of the tuition range for their grade .
