Event
Saturday Family Concerts: Gansango Music & Dance
Gansango presents traditional and contemporary dance and music from West Africa. Directed by Seattle choreographer Etienne Cakpo, originally from Benin, Gansango features traditional dance from that Western African country, including Vodoun ritualistic dances; regional social ceremony dances, such as the Chenkoum dance from Savalou; and royal historical dances, such as the Zehli dance from the late 1800s. With accompanying live kora (21-string harp), djembe (drum), and percussion; modern dance arrangements based on traditional movement and rhythms; and colorful, culturally contextual costumes from West Africa, Gansango is at once engaging and mesmerizing. Series sponsored by ParentMap.
