Here is a clip from our show on December 29th, 2023 at the Arc Theater. In this clip, we play the rhythm Djagbe and transition into a newly composed rhythm called Kwe-fila. Djagbe is originally played to celebrate the end of Ramadan in Mande culture. The song we sing during this piece is sung to greet the drummers who bring life to the city. Enjoy! Musicians: Hampton Couser, Ayinde Utsey, Diandre Dukes, Stewart Banard, Adrian Somerville Jr., Wayne Goss, Zion Utsey, Sanu Basu, Kweku Sumbry, Agyei Keita Edwards, Jamal Dickerson Dancers: Mikalah Davis, Karima Dickerson, Anaiya Carter, Yaminah Gill, Kehinde Jones, Wenona Majette, Minata Keita, Salaam Williams, Mandisa Spruell.
