UBC African Music and Dance Ensemble
J. S. Kofi Gbolonyo, director

The UBC African and Dance Ensemble performs music and dances from Africa and specializes in repertoire from West Africa region.

Through the drum, the voice, the dance, and other visual art forms and paraphernalia, this ensemble brings to the stage a unique and total African theatrical experience. In addition to performing traditional pieces, the ensemble performs neo-traditional, contemporary African art compositions, and African popular music.

The UBC African and Dance may perform outside on the plaza, weather permitting.
