Hamana West African Drum and Dance Company

Hamana West African drum and dance companyI represent Hamana, one of Britain’s most exciting West African drum and dance companies. Their recent festival tour received outstanding acclaim and is set to launch them as a top international company bringing the most inspiring and entertaining music and dance from West Africa to UK audiences.

Led by the internationally renowned djembe soloist, Ansoumana Bakayoko (from Mali) and choreographed by his wife and UK dance scene favourite, Saskia Bakayoko, Hamana takes the audience on an enthralling journey through the traditions and stories of West Africa.

Hamana performanceYou will easily find performer biographies, images and a showreel at www.hamanaafrica.co.uk and www.vieuxbakayoko.com. Also, an exciting addition to Hamana's repertoire is M’bolonkang, the much anticipated debut album from Ansoumana Bakayoko which was released in autumn 2011 on Bakayoko Music.

Hamana performanceI invite you to consider Hamana to perform at your events. An exceptionally gifted company whose members will certainly grab the attention of your audience with their dynamic and mesmerising performances.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely
