Kaya [Traditions] is an annual benefit show hosted by the Tiyumba West African Drum & Dance Company. Proceeds from the show directly benefit youth and their community in Tamale, northern Ghana (Fatawu’s hometown)! This year we are honoring the energy, connections, and love of the drum and dance community we’ve grown in Minnesota. In addition to presentations by company members, community drummers and dancers will be taking the floor in celebration West African culture. Audience members are an essential part of this experience.
Come clap, sing, and dance with us!
A look into past: Kaya [Traditions]
In 2024, the Tiyumba Foundation was granted funds through MN State Arts Board Cultural Expression Grant to bring guest artists from the Dagbamba Tribe of northern Ghana to Minnesota for our annual benefit show for a profound celebration of culture and art.
