Painting a colorful and exciting picture of the oral and musical rites of the diverse peoples of West Africa, The Song and Dance Ensemble of West Africa uniquely blend their traditional West African melodies and musical styles with the stylizations of the Western world. Congolese soukous nudges West African Manding, reggae meets latin, and, overall, an explosion of sound greets dancers and music lovers. While the style is West African authentic, a contemporary edge makes them as hip as any international big band.
