COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) — “Harambee” is a Kenyan word meaning the “pulling together” of community — and that’s exactly what folks at Benedict College are hoping to do as they celebrate the 35th anniversary of its Harambee Festival on April 20th. On Tuesday, members of the school’s gospel choir and band came together for a tribute to honor the festival’s musical heritage and remind everyone of the meaning behind the upcoming event. Singer Lauren Byrd says music is simply about joy.
