For those looking for a multicultural event good for the whole family, Young Angels’ production of Rhythm & Moves is set for Saturday, May 23 at 2 p.m. at St. Eugene School, 9521 S. Hass Avenue. Congolese band, Balobi Bandeko, tap legend Mark Goodman and Frit & Frat hip hop will provide the rhythm, served up with food from Veronica’s Fufuland and Flossie’s Southern Cuisine. St. Eugene School in Inglewood saw the ABC’s on the wall as one student after another was told by their families that there was not enough money to pay even a reduced tuition next year. The largely Nigerian congregation wanted to help the kids and share their cultural heritage. Young Angels of America, a Palisades-based group of high school kids, helped turn the dream into a reality. Young Angels of America is a community service organization that teaches affluent kids about event production and philanthropy. The group of teenagers decided to sponsor the event and approached African radio guru, Nnamdi Moweta of KPFK. They asked him to come to the rescue, and he did. For tickets ($20 online; $25 at the door, students, $15), visit steugeneschool.org.
