DANCING FEET AND TALKING DRUMS Okaidja hopes to preserve traditional African music, dance and folk stories and to promote cultural understanding by sharing Ghanaian rhythms, motions and narratives with diverse groups of people of all ages. His interactive, interdisciplinary programs take participants on a journey to his native Ghana through learning authentic songs and exultant drumming and dance movements. Okaidja’s performances, classes, workshops and cultural programs inspire and educate participants about the customs and way of life of people in Ghana. Okaidja offers customized programs to meet the distinctive needs, audience and budget of specific schools and organizations. He can create curriculums based around a teacher’s lesson plan that will incorporate the essential elements and spirit of African music and dance. The programs are suitable for a broad spectrum of participants from grades K-12, universities, adults, community classes and corporate events. In this increasingly interconnected global environment, Okaidja’s powerful and exuberant programs unite people by joining us together through music and dance forms that celebrate the human spirit. “Thank you for drumming with me. I loved it. I want to be like you and play the drums. It made me happy.” |
