This show combines athleticism, dance, and music and is pure entertainment. You’ll see stunts and hear live Afro-jazz, percussion, and kora musical accompaniment. Multidisciplinary artist Yamoussa Bangoura, an alumnus of Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia, created this act after studying the Nyamakala cirque tradition of West Africa.
