The crowd was small in comparison to the throngs that usually show up for concerts at the Colonial Center. Yet as the women’s African drumming group Jo Divas played as part of the Women’s Expo on Saturday, the audience made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in size. Women clapped along, swayed, and even danced in the aisles as the Jo Divas played a series of West African rhythms.
