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.

Adande is now Featuring the play:
"A Story of Love for African Drumming"

...A story brilliantly told through high energy dance and electrifying drumming!! "A Story of Love for African Drumming" is a folklore about a young man's dream and desire to perform with the drummers and dancers of Africa, and become a Djembefola. (djembe player) Please contact Adande for booking information.
