The ADANDE African Dance Company is under the artistic direction
of Mr. Jesse Thrower. This authentic group of African drummers
and dancers explores elements of history and entertainment combined
in a single musical experience. The beat and magic of the African
chant and drum envelops the crowd as they are absorbed by this
high level of energy and rhythm that is distinctive of this evocative
art form. Marked with enthusiasm and spontaneity, there is an
"aura" which characterizes sophistication and discipline
in the quality of their sound and movement. ADANDE will fast forward
the audience into a new exciting musical world.
