Afrikania's shows are a high energy display of African dance and drumming in traditional costume.
Gideon Alorwoyie is a Master Drummer, village Chief and Jeve Priest of the Ewe people of Ghana, Togo and Benin. Arguably the greatest living expert on the drumming of the Ewe people, his knowledge has been sought out by modern classical composer Steve Reich, and students across the globe. Gideon is a professor at North Texas State University in Denton TX, and spends considerable time in at his home in the Volta Region of Ghana.
Lee Carroll's Afro-Funk Allstar Dance Band will follow at TeeDee's Bluegrass Progressive Club (home of the Origin's Jazz Series). Incorporating home town favorites from C The Beat and Ethos with members of Afrikania, you can expect an explosive performance of African Funk and Afro-Beat.
