DaanSekou seeks to preserve and share the beauty of traditional West African Music and Dance as well as the Music and Dance of the African Diaspora through education, performance and fraternity. The piece we would like to perform embodies drum and dance and is entitled “Dundunba” from the ancient Mali Empire of West Africa. Dundunba, or Dance of the Strong Man, symbolizes strength, stamina, unity, coordination and resilience. The graceful agility displayed through the movements of this intricate dance of strength invokes the reliance we need for each other to grow and get better, physically, mentally and spiritually.
