Afriky Lolo: A Celebration of West-African Performing Arts

Afriky Lolo, founded and led by Diádié Bathily, is a West-African dance non-profit corporation that is committed to bringing West African dance and culture to the St. Louis, Missouri, community through teaching and performing. Mizzou Percussion and Wontanara will open the concert.

Bathily is a Master dancer from the Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa. He immigrated to the United States in 1998. He has a strong personal and professional desire to share the beauty, culture and passion of West African dance with Americans, especially African Americans. Afriky Lolo’s mission is to share and celebrate West African dance with local, national, and international communities. They do so through classes, performances, workshops, and summer camps, volunteering and for-profit events. Through dance, they bring the rich heritage of African performance to children, teens, adults, and seniors of all levels and abilities.
