About us

In the bustling streets of Kumasi, Ghana, our story began—a tale woven with passion, rhythm, and an unwavering desire to share the vibrant essence of African entertainment with the world. In a small studio, a troupe of dedicated musicians and dancers united, driven by a shared vision to showcase the rich cultural heritage of African drums and djembe performances.

Our Origin

Under the charismatic leadership of our founder, Olusegun Daniel, we honed our craft, merging the thunderous beats of traditional West African drumming with the mesmerizing movements of time-honored dances such as Kpanlogo, Adowa, and Sabar. As word of our electrifying performances spread, we received invitations to grace the stages of prestigious events across Africa, Asia, and beyond. From Côte d’Ivoire to South Africa, we captivated audiences with our infectious energy and costumes that burst with the vibrant colors and intricate patterns synonymous with African artistry.

Each performance became a celebration of our continent’s rich heritage—a living testament to the resilience and pride that courses through the veins of its people.

The Move to UAE

But our aspirations reached even higher. In 2011, we packed our drums and dancing shoes, setting our sights on Dubai, the glittering city in the United Arab Emirates, quickly becoming a hub for international entertainment. Embracing the challenges of establishing ourselves in a new environment, we leveraged our reputation for delivering unforgettable shows featuring African drummers and dancers.

Through strategic partnerships and relentless dedication, we soon found ourselves performing at some of Dubai’s most prestigious events, from lavish galas to high-profile festivals, including Full Moon and Open Moon celebrations. Our performances became a must-see attraction, enchanting both locals and visitors alike with our captivating blend of African music, dance, and cultural storytelling.

Our Legacy

As the years rolled on, our reputation as the premier African entertainment experience in the Middle East flourished. We consistently wowed audiences with our dynamic performances, illustrating the universal appeal of rhythms and movements rooted in the heart of Africa. Each show is a journey—a vibrant tapestry that connects people across cultures and backgrounds.

Today, we stand tall as a testament to the boundless talent and resilience emanating from Africa. From our humble beginnings in Kumasi to our triumphant stages in Dubai and beyond, our journey exemplifies the power of cultural expression to captivate, inspire, and unite.
