Message From Guinea
United in their passion for sharing their culture on a global level, Message From
Guinea is a group of extraordinary Seattle-based West African artists who have come
together to spread a message of joy, unity, and transformation. Employing powerful
rhythms, hi-energy dances, and melodic songs steeped in the rich cultural heritage of
their home country of Guinea,West Africa, Message From Guinea opens hearts,
ignites passion, and enlivens audiences.
These formidable artists grew up living their musical tradition, as Guinea is one of the
few places left in Africa where indigenous drumming and dance traditions are still
woven into everyday life. They began developing their art forms as children, received
training from cultural luminaries such as Kemoko Sano, and grew into artists of the
highest caliber; some group members have toured the world with top companies
such as the internationally-renowned Les Ballets Africains, Guinea's national company.
Their authenticity is evident in their art.
Guinea is the birthplace of many African percussive instruments, including the
increasingly popular djembe from the Mande region, and the krin, or"African
telephone"from Guinea's forest region. These instruments have historically served
the role of calling people together for important occasions- births, deaths, planting
and harvesting of crops, the arrival of kings, the initiation of battle and the launch of
the hunt. Message From Guinea fuses sacred tradition with modern sensibility; with
virtuosity and charisma, they call their audience to join in the essence of Guinea's
cultural legacy.
