“These ebullient dancers and musicians have dazzled thousands.”
—Washington Post

Veterans of 22 sold-out North American tours, this company of dancers and musicians has wowed audiences with the traditions and spirit of West Africa since 1960. Exceptionally beautiful dancers with unmatched physical gifts and discipline perform high-energy choreography. Kuuyamba celebrates the Mandingue initiation ritual signaling the shift from adolescence to adulthood and revels in the joyous freedom of the body. Stay after the performance for a Meet-the-Artists discussion.
