Lions of Africa
The most exotic performer group will be the African dancers,
percussionists and musicians of “Lions of Africa” from Senegal. This
amazing spectacle is based on an ancient African tradition in which
dance, music and acrobatics have been used for controlling and taming
even the forces of nature. The group’s show is full of momentum and
energy, virtuosity and wild pageantry of colour, the kind of which the
Ikaalinen Old Town Park has never seen before. African dance and the
magic of exotic percussions open a whole new world to the Finnish
audience used to more melancholy music.
The members of Lions of the Africa are West African cultural
ambassadors from Senegal. The Government of Senegal is supporting the
group’s visit to Ikaalinen.
