Greetings!

I am writing to inform you of a very special concert presented by the World Music Institute:

Women's Drum & Dance Company of Guinea
Nimbaya!


Friday, March 23, 2012 8:00 PM
Saturday, March 24 at 11:00 AM (Family Show) and 8:00 PM
Peter Norton Symphony Space
2537 Broadway @ 95th Street

A daring response to the taboo of women playing djembe in West Africa, NIMBAYA! is the first all women’s percussion and dance troupe from Guinea. The group, formerly known as Amazones Women Master Drummers of Guinea, was created in 1998 by Mamoudou Condé of Les Ballets Africains fame. Presenting spectacular performances, NIMBAYA! “play(s) with a fury, pounding out heart-racing rhythms and dancing into near frenzies” (Boston Globe).

We would love to have a strong community presence to mark this special appearance, and so we would be happy to extend group rates and discounts to members of your community. Feel free to contact me if you are interested, I hope you can help us spread the word !
