The Kulu Mele African Dance & Drum Ensemble will present traditional dance and music of Africa and the African diaspora. For this special afternoon performance you will experience dances like the Tansole, a Malian celebration dance, and the Fule Fare, a Guinea dance of the Falani people. Learn about the origin of the drum and take part in a dance that teaches the relation between drummers and dancers.
Kulu Mele carries the torch for culture. Established in Philadelphia in 1969 by Baba Robert Crowder, Kulu Mele is the fruit of many peoples’ dreams, the nation’s longest-enduring African dance company. For 50+ years, Kulu Mele has embodied excellences in West Africa, Cuban and African Diasporan traditions, including contemporary American hip hop.
