Epic night of full powered dance music!!
Featuring:
ADAMA FAKOLY DOUMBOUYA JAMJAMKO
Master Drummer from Cote D’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), West Africa, Adama was born to play djembe in the traditional style of the Mandinka people from his father, who was an original member of the Koteba Drum & Dance Ensemble of Guinea, alongside Mamady Keita.
Adama has toured internationally as the lead djembe player of the Mother Africa Circus for 15 years, and more recently in the Australian company, Cirque de Africa. He has performed throughout Europe, Middle East, South Pacific, United Kingdom and Australia, where he has settled.
Residing in Brisbane Adama performs locally with his group African Fusion, and other groups across Queensland, including Spankinhide.
This man has the warmest heart and the kindest smile. His energy will fill the space with joy and passion!! And damn can he hit that djembe!!!
SPANKINHIDE
The very existence of Spankinhide is to fuel the fire of dance. Rich rhythms, driving doundoun melodies, crack and boom to fill the room! If you find you're not dancing, might be wise to check your pulse - you may be dead!
ZORMIWASA (meaning "come play music")
EPIC!! No other word quite covers this incredible performance. With Elliott Orr, some 35 beautiful humans have been studying the latest Bana Kuma (mean's "a sacred altering") - composed by Chris Berry. Zormiwasa will perform Goré (Earth), Sahisah (Air), Kamoto (Fire) and Hinimaweh (Water), inviting you, the dancer, to journey through the elements with dance. Many of Elliott's most dedicated students have been studying and belonging to this community for 1, 2 even almost 3 decades!
This is the very essence of community! Many beautiful souls bringing their love of rhythm and dance into a collective moment of connection and expression.
Come early to witness this true magic!
