(Radio Iowa) – A celebrated musician from Africa is spending this week in southeast Iowa, offering residents of Oskaloosa a series of concerts and workshops featuring music and dance from his native Ghana. Okaidja Afroso is a singer, guitarist, percussionist and dancer who’s traveling with several other performers from Ghana.
During Monday night’s show, Afroso held up the three-foot-tall drum he plays. “This is carved from a solid piece of log. They chip, chip, chip, chip and hollow out the inside,” Afroso says. “The pegs around this are from tree branches. We usually put antelope, deer skin or cow skin on these drums to make the sounds they make.”
The performers are playing music most Iowans have never heard before, including a style known as jaku mumor, which means “ancestral spirit.”

“In Ghana, we have lots of different types of music and bands, due to the fact that we have a lot of different ethnic groups,” Afroso says, “so depending on where you go, you hear traditional drumming that are different and the drums are also different.” This visit is sponsored by Arts Midwest as Afroso and his band offer workshops to schools in Oskaloosa, as well as to various community groups.
Oskaloosa is the current Iowa host for the Arts Midwest “World Fest,” which connects international music groups with rural communities through weeklong visits. Free concerts and presentations are planned tonight at 6 at Smokey Row Coffee in Oskaloosa, Wednesday afternoon at the Oskaloosa Public Library, and Friday morning at George Daily Auditorium, where a ticketed concert is also scheduled for Saturday night.
(Radio Iowa)- Governor Kim Reynolds hosted a welcoming ceremony in the Iowa Capitol for the president of Kosovo.
Reynolds met with Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani in June when Reynolds was on an overseas trade mission.
“Thank you for accepting my invitation to visit Iowa and to attend the World Food Prize and I certainly look forward to our time together,” Reynolds said. Osmani is among the leaders from 65 countries who’ll speak at World Food Prize events in Des Moines this week. Osmani’s first stop, however, was at the Iowa National Guard’s headquarters. Over 700 Iowa National Guard soldiers have done tours of duty in Kosovo and the Pentagon has tapped the Iowa Guard to help develop Kosovo’s security forces.

“Please be reminded that the people of the Republic of Kosovo will always, always carry the deepest appreciation and admiration for the people of the United States of America,” Osmani says. “You stood with us in the darkest hours. When we needed a savior, you saved our lives and, not just that, you walked with us every step of the way.” After the break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, neighboring Serbia launched an attack on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and the NATO alliance intervened in 1999. Kosovo has been an independent state since 2008. Reynolds notes Iowa is one of two states that host a Kosovo consulate.
“Twenty-five years after first receiving NATO’s protection, Kosovo is paying it forward, acting as a counterweight to malign Russian influence and helping maintain the region’s stability,” Reynolds said, “while helping maintain the region’s independence.” Osmani says the partnerships between Kosovo and the United States are reflection of shared values, common objectives and strategic interests.
“What truly sets this alliance apart is the remarkable people-to-people connections that have developed over the years,” Osmani says. “One can wholeheartedly say that there exists a deep and genuine connection between the citizens of our two countries and, of course, the citizens of Kosovo and of Iowa in particular.”
Osmani is a lawyer and the first female speaker of Kosovo’s Assembly. She was elected president in 2021 — the second woman to lead the country in the past 15 years.
