Kaleidoscope Family Series
“Yamo! Yamo!” (“Hello! How are you doing!” in Baoulé) is the greeting from the charismatic ambassador of West African culture! In this dynamic and interactive performance, Fana Soro, a hereditary master musician of the Senoufo people, shares the musical traditions of his home country to showcase the soaring melodies, driving rhythms and use of percussion instruments, and the spirited dances of ancient West African performing arts. It’s a lively voyage of discovery to a vibrant world!
Fana Soro is a musician, dancer and educator from the Ivory Coast, where he was a member of the prestigious Ballet National de Côte d’Ivoire. He is the creative director of the performance group Masabo in Vancouver. Since 1997, Fana has been a cultural ambassador for West Africa, bringing his vast experience to schools and community performances to widespread acclaim.
