Grand opening Saturday for Rhythms of the Village, Angel Moments

by Timothy Rutt

Rhythms of the Village's colorful storefront celebrates African Diaspora culture.

The community is invited as the newest two shops on Lake Avenue will have a grand opening event Saturday afternoon.

Rhythms of the Village, 2279 N. Lake Avenue, and Angel Moments Spiritual Resource Center, 2285 N. Lake Avenue, will have a celebratory opening from noon to 6 PM Saturday, July 27. Onochie Chukwurah at Rhythms said that there will be music, drumming, and other activities for the store's official opening.

Chukwurah said that his shop features items from the "African diaspora," with items from Africa and the Caribbean, along with Rasta and hip hop goods.

If the name sounds familiar, it should: Chuckwurah was executive director of the Rhythms of the Village charter school located at the old Edison School building. The school closed in 2008.
