Guardian of the skins. That is what Baba Shibambo’s last name means. It reflects the role his family played in their Apartheid-era South African Zulu tribe: They took care of the tribe’s animal skins, including the drum skins. Shibambo learned not just to tend to the drum skins, but also to play the drums, eventually becoming a professional musician who performed internationally, including for Nelson Mandela. Shibambo will be bringing his music, and introducing children to his instruments and tribal stories, at the free African Music and Arts Village event at the Rincon Valley Regional Library in Santa Rosa on February 4 at 2 p.m. Find out more at tinyurl.com/ytjjffe9. The event will be held at other libraries in Sonoma County throughout February. See tinyurl.com/mtmcf588 for dates and times.
