African Dance Percussion Group

This African percussion and dance group based in Glasgow have been performing together for over 10 years. They play, and dance to the fantastic and diverse rhythms and songs of traditional West Africa (mainly from the Mandigue culture). The music is played on Djembe and Dundun drums as well as a variety of other percussion instruments. They produce a fascinating collage of rhythms originally played during celebrations (such as religious occasions, harvests or victories), work and initiation rites. The Dance and the music are inextricably linked, and are an integral part of the culture and social structure.

The group's performances produce a rhythmic and colourful dancing feast that is enjoyable for all!
