Drumming from around the world

Another brand new event on Alberta Ave for SkirtsAfire, The Beat of Her Drum will be a powerful coming together of Indigenous, Korean and West African drumming and dance for an explosive night of cultural fusion. 

Sangea
With a splendid repertoire that draws heavily from the rich traditions of West African performance art, Sangea continues to brilliantly redefine what it means to revitalize tradition and in turn, captivate a modern audience. Sangea is a diverse West-African performance group made up of 8 members from several countries in Africa, and from Mexico and Canada. The name of the group means female leader and is a common name given to young girls in Liberia. Established in 2012, the group has grown from being a household name amongst several communities within the Edmonton area, to becoming a leader in the forward progression of traditional West-African music, dance, poetry, and theatre in it’s home province and across the country at large. All of its growth and success can be attributed to it’s steadfast mission to preserve and share African culture, to captivate and inspire it’s audience, and to build cultural bridges through artistic expression.
