Philadelphia Folklore Project Event
Dear friends,
Please join us next Wednesday, January 21st, from 6 – 8 PM to hear stories about the recent 2-week trip to Guinea taken by members of the Kulu Mele African Dance and Drum ensemble. They will talk about their adventures, their study with master artists Mariama Touré, and M’Bemba Bangoura, internationally recognized performers of traditional Guinea drumming and dance. And they will talk about the new dance they are working on. Welcome them home and get a first-hand view of what was a life-changing trip for many. Hear about how these local artists continue to school themselves in traditional culture, making it accessible to a new generation.

Congratulations to Kulu Mele on their historic trip. I certainly wish I could attend this event
and hear from everyone first hand. I look forward to the performance and plan to come to
Philadelphia to be amazed.
