Free; noon

One thing your workday should absolutely include today? Lunch at Metro Hall. Seriously, ditch the stuffy office and follow the melodic strumming of the Sudanese Rebaba Project. This group of Sudanese refugees will fill the mayor’s gallery with sounds and stories of their lost homeland. War, peace, love and grief all wind their way into Rebaba’s music. The Sudanese Rebaba Project has united war-displaced Sudanese who now live in Louisville and share an interest in building rebabas, a musical instrument similar to a banjo. Many members played the instrument while living in Kenyan refugee camps. This performance marks the second event in Mayor Fischer’s monthly live music and art series. It’s free and open to the public. —Anne Marshall
