The word Adanfo means friends and family. Adanfo Ensemble is made up of highly experienced and talented dancers and musicians. The group started performing together on the East Coast in 2003 and primarily focused on that part of the country.
In July 2010 they were asked to replace another group from Africa and made their first West Coast appearances. They performed for Festivals, Concert Series, Theaters, and Summer School programs. The tour was so successful that they were signed by the same agency that booked the tour.
The Adanfo Ensemble is available for Festivals, Concerts, School Programs, Residency Programs, Workshops and will continue Bridging Cultures Through Music.
"Adanfo Ensemble was a highlight of our summer concerts in Kent. The group was great to work with and the show was filled with high energy music and dance. "
