African Drum in St. Louis
Birthing the next level of the dream... Africa United & Djembe X!1
11:22 PM
A few months ago, I received the divine call and embarked on
the effort to kick-start Africa United Ballet International -- an
unprecedented and unparalleled music and dance entertainment venture. My
business partner, grandmaster drummer and performer Bolokada Conde,
from Guinea, and I set out to raise oodles of money and fuel the forward
motion of a company which has brought together Africa's top talent, and
aims to produce the best performances & workshops on the planet!!
Our task at hand was immediately arduous, and continues to be one of the
great mountains to climb. But with an insane level of faith, belief,
hard work, and incredible fervor from supporters nationally and
globally, we have stepped into the next stage of the dream.
The
dream that Bolokada and I embarked on a few months ago is rapidly
coming to life. With less than 10 days to this epic program, it's
nothing short of a miracle that we are birthing the next stage of the
dream. A miracle produced by the divine spirit calling into being the
very light, the very art that we need to breath power into our lives, and energy into our vision. As we count down the days to Djembe X, we look
to the future with excitement and belief. The more we try, the more the
world bares the fruit of our greatest hopes.
