EUROPEAN TOUR 2003

Raw Energy and Skill! (cont.)

„Wali" a harvest dance from Guinea with its dramatic "sputtering" of „Djembes" got a fresh outlook with innovative improvisations that involve a perfect simulation of African harvests.

Also choreographed by Danquah "Delu" attracted several members of the audience to the dancing floor with its swift movement of arms and gyrating waists alongside "wild" beats from assorted African drums like "Sogo", "Kidi", "Kagau", "Brekete" and Bells.

"Worminba", the title track of the group's latest CD enthralled the crowd with its dramatic fusion of rhythms from Southern and Northen Ghana. „Atenteben"flutes blurred out from the Northern „Bamaya" piece while Ga „Gome" and „Kpanlogo" drums inundated the concert hall with complex rhythms.
