Guinea Suite

Ushering a colorful, vibrant energy of ancient times, Wona Womalan awakens the collective unconscious. This performance celebrates the seasons and the elements of life. The Charleston-based ensemble is influenced by traditional Guinean rhythms.

Celebrating the distinctive style of an all-female Dun-Dun (bass drum) section, they are dedicated to preserving the arts and culture of West African dance, drum, musical and folkloric traditions.

The drummers and dancers in this original performance are Patrice Camara, Stacia Council, Jametric German, Regina Hollingshed, Kamau Nesbid, Rhonda Richardson Shearis Richardson, and Julia Rodriguez.
