Join Vashon Center for the Arts in welcoming back Gansango Music & Dance for a lively performance of contemporary and traditional West African dance and drumming on Friday February 3, 2023. Gansango’s vibrant shows fuse music and movement from across Africa, drawing particularly from the dance and music traditions of Benin, Ghana and Togo. Live drums and percussion accompany modern dance arrangements based on traditional movement while colorful costumes provide cultural context for the company’s performances. Gansango is directed by Etienne Cakpo, originally from Benin and now a choreographer and teacher based in Seattle. Gansango artists perform regularly in the Seattle area, nationally and internationally for audiences of all ages.
