African Dance, Music, and the Oral Tradition

No matter your age or background, the spirit and the openness of the Elegba Folklore Society will enchant you, closing the gap between performer and audience.  In this performance, dancers, drummers, singers, spoken word artists and masquerades focus primarily on West Africa to interactively spur an evolving understanding of the cultural and historical underpinnings of the dance and its music while showing its relationship to the United States.  Information: zan01@henrico.us
