Sulley Imoro began learning African drumming and dance from his father when he was 8 years old. His father, also a popular dancer, was known throughout Ghana. Sulley was eager to follow in his father’s footsteps. “Anytime in the village when we didn’t have entertainment, Father would bring the drums out and play,” he said. “Sometimes we didn’t have light in the village, and if the moon was bright, we would come together and play and dance.” Since that time, Sulley has become a renown performer and teacher of traditional Dagomba drum, dance and song.
Currently, Sulley (pronounced "soo'-lay") is the director and founder of the Mbangba Cultural Troupe of Ashemie, and is an instructor for the dance ensemble at the University of Ghana at Legon. He has also served as a dance instructor for the Dagara Music and Arts Center in Medie, Ghana. In addition, for more than 20 years Sulley has taught African drumming and dance
classes in Ghana and at American colleges, and has performed throughout Africa, Europe, and the United States. In Ghana, whenever there is a high-profile visitor, the Ambassador calls Imoro and his ensemble to dance in front of crowds that can reach into the thousands.

Frederic Leon HAS Been Located!
Frederic Leon, straight from Haiti, was our guest artist two summers ago. Ever since the devastating Earthquakes in Haiti last month - we have been trying to find out his condition and whereabouts.
Finally - news came today from his aunt who lives on the East Coast. He is alive and well. His home collpased and he and his daughter barely made it out alive. He is living in an area outside of Port au Prince, until he is able to move back to a proper home.
This is very good news. We are very happy to hear the Frederic and his daughter are safe in Haiti.
