Gambian Griot School of Music and Dance Home About us African music African dance ... Griot songs African Dance Gambians love music. And whenever there's a party, they will dance. For official occasions like a wedding or a naming ceremony there are special programs, which all have their own dances. And every tribe has its own programs. At Gambian Griot we teach the dances of the tribes in our country, and we are experts on Mandinka dance. Our manager Dembo Jobarteh is a member of (Unesco's) International Dance Council. A traditional Mandinka program consists of several parts. When the three drummers begin the sawruba, the women of the village form a big circle. The women will sing and if the music is good, they will dance. This part is especially for older women. The madiba is a dance 'with power' for young people. On request the drummers may also play dimbatantango. The neighbours or age groups will organise this 'more than dancing' rhythm for women who have difficulty becoming pregnant. Another often requested dance is barawulo. This encourages the boys and girls to clean up the village. All these dances and many more you can learn at Gambian Griot. Naming ceremony If you are in The Gambia and get the chance you should attend a naming ceremony. It's a special occasion on which the name of a new born child is officially announced.

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.

Unlike most Africans who emmigrate to the United States today, Coulibaly was educated according to ancient tradition: rather than attend a school modeled on Western educational practices or based upon Qur'anic teachings, Coulibaly received his education from village elders, traditional rituals, initiations into secret societies, and master dance teachers in the Segu region of Mali. As a result of his studies, all of Coulibaly's work is thoroughly reserached and heavily steeped in folkloric tradition.
