outloud Special: Featured Artist from Guinea (FADF 07)

outloud: African Caribbean Dance Theatre on 4fsu:

Monday,June 8 @ 9 PM
Wednesday, June 10 @ 7 PM
Friday, June 12 @ 10 PM

4fsu is Comcast 4 in Leon, Gadsden, and Wakulla counties.

This was from Moustapha Bangoura's second year at FADF, and his numbers are usually very high energy. This is no exception as we see the male and female dancers try to entice each other through dance.

DoundoumBa gives a chance for the percussionists and dancers to solo. There is always one piece in this annual festival where we get to see these top-tier djembe players face off and try to outdo each other. If you've ever shaken a master djembe player's hand, you know that their hands are tough and strong. Seeing the speed at which they solo and how hard they can hit the drum explains why this is. And you'll see that drummers have a few dance moves too.
