DEMO - Yassama and the Beaded Calabash

“ONCE UPON A TIME IN A VILLAGE IN A LAND FAR AWAY THERE LIVED A YOUNG GIRL NAMED YASSAMA…”
Rooted in African oral tradition, Yassama and the Beaded Calabash is the story of a young girl who, with the help of the old Baobab tree, saves her village from drought and delivers a powerful lesson about the importance of respecting and honouring Mother Earth. Kids will love this playful and interactive show where the audience is encouraged to take part in the form of call-and-response, singing and clapping. Acclaimed artist Lua Shayenne weaves rhythmic language, vibrant dance, lively Malinke and Soussou songs, and live drumming into an engaging story everyone is sure to enjoy. Click here to watch a video.
