5th-Quarter Bantaba

Work in progress showing and panel discussion.

Twenty-four years in the making, 5th-Quarter Bantaba is a new choreographic work interweaving dance/percussion of the form Mali Empire and the African American marching bands of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

The project bridges three extensively researched and embodied movement and musical traditions: Sabar drum and dance (Wolof culture); Djembe/Dun Dun drum and dance (Mande/Malinke culture); and African American marching bands from southern HBCUs.
