Performances
Legends of West Africa showcases their mastery of some of the world’s most obscure and fascinating instruments including the balafon, krin, bolon, kora, n’goni, gongomah, flute, along with a variety of drums. Accompanying the music is a daunting exhibition of acrobatic dance and powerful vocals. During the performance Legends of West Africa dives into a breathtaking display of music, singing and dance. The artists spin, flip and twirl about the stage in costumes of traditional design that accentuate their dramatic movements. The performance makes the audience, no matter how young or old, want to leap out of their seats and dance in the isles. |

“The rhythm drove dancers across the stage like animals of the jungle – running, leaping, and slithering. Africa does have rhythm, and it shakes your bones and stirs your soul.”
