<p>The Collaborative will present The Afro-Semitic Experience at Warren Folks Fest. This free, family-friendly festival attracts more than 1,200 attendees from Rhode Island and beyond, offering a diverse lineup of artistic talent. The Afro-Semitic Experience serves as a bridge between artistic expressions present at the festival, using their music to connect cultural narratives and highlight shared histories. Their fusion of African and Jewish musical traditions complements the themes of storytelling, dance, and our collective human experience. Through post-performance informal artist interactions, audiences will gain a deeper understanding of their work, reinforcing the festival&#39;s mission to celebrate artistic diversity and community connection.</p>
