About
us!
Kusum
Gboo Dance Ensemble is a Pan African Dance company based in Accra;
the capital city of Ghana (West Africa). The group performs traditional
African music and dance alongside their own creative and choreographed
dance pieces.
Through
the efforts of its Artistic Director, Richard Danquah, Kusum Gboo
can boast of over twenty choreographed dance pieces that are accompanied
by authentic African drum rhythms in their diverse repertoire. These
include dramatic infusions of traditional dances from Ghana, Togo,
Benin, Senegal, Zaire, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe and others.
Founded
a little over two decades ago under the name Peoples Cultural Troupe,
the group went through a series of transformations including changes
in its repertoire and management culminating in the rebirth of the
group as Kusum Gboo Dance Ensemble in 1991.
