The Sankofa African Dance and Drum Ensemble retrieves the cultural essences of the past and brings them into the present. Sankofa presents dance and theater works expressing the dynamic presence of African culture in America. Some of the presentations are replicas of traditional African prototypes; and some of the works are re-creations, employing contemporary themes and movement motifs. The members of the African Dance and Drum Ensemble of SUNY Brockport represent the rich cultural heritage of Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, the Americas, and Africa that exists within our university community. The late Albert Opoku, the ensemble's first director, set the creative pace and artistic tone for the group of young artists who experienced and performed traditional Ghanaian dances. Authentic costumes, instruments and themes characterized the group at that time called Agoromma. An extensive variety of dances reached an audience hitherto unversed in the rich language of the West-African culture. This produced a generation of students infused with a newly found respect and inspiration for African dance. Upon retirement in 1985, Opoku returned to his homeland and Agoromma was transformed first into Kuam Ka Fafa and then into Sankofa under the guidance of its present artistic director, Clyde Alafiju Morgan. Khalid Abdul N'Fally Saleem joined the ensemble as music director in 1994 when he became a member of the SUNY Brockport faculty.
