Artist Line-Up
The showcase kicks off with a stunning performance presented by Fall For Dance North; Dialogue with DNA, a percussive gumboot dance choreographed and performed by Mafa Makhubalo. Brendan McLeod will host a poetry-slam-style presentation of student poetry readings, with poets selected from bloom, Prologue’s poetry publication released in the spring.
Headlining the showcase, a power-house trinity of percussionists come together for an epic fusion of traditional styles. Joaquín Núñez celebrates the rich cultural sounds of Cuba, Mestre Sérgio Xocolate pumps up the volume with energizing drum rhythms from Brazil, and Njacko Backo illuminates an array of percussion instruments, highlighting the importance of music and dance in Central Africa.
