Kaya [Traditions] by the Tiyumba West African Drum & Dance Company benefits youth in northern Tamale. This year was an extraordinary opportunity to experience the cultural traditions of the Dagbamba people with guest artists from northern Ghana.

T’pagya pam to all who joined us as well as those who supported through donations and well wishes!

We have raised $26,000 toward our $30,000 goal!

There is still time to donate to complete the new center for youth in Tamale, Ghana.

The Tiyumba Community came together for a one-of-a-kind community dance workshop. We learned a traditional West African dance, with singing and live drumming from our incredible guest artists. It was a rich cultural experience!
