Casimiro Nhussi is a professional dancer, choreographer, dance instructor, and musician born in Mozambique, Africa. Starting his career as dancer, Casimiro became the principal dancer, and then the artistic director, of the Mozambique National Song and Dance Company. When he arrived in Canada in 1997, Nhussi formed his own dance company, NAfro Dance. The NAfro Band, whose music reflects influences that range from Manu Dibango and Fela Kuti to Ghanaian and Mozambican traditional rhythms, began as a group to accompany Nhussi's choreography, but now performs on its own in and around Winnipeg.
Vieux Farka Touré - Koroboro Rock
Vieux Farka Touré, son of legendary Malian blues legend Ali Farka Touré, is making a name for himself.
His new album, Fondo, released on Six Degrees Records on May 26th, is a stirring combination of traditional instruments and modern production. "Black African rock" is how Touré describes the koroboro sound that he and his band turn out in their high energy performances.
He will perform at the Pyramid Cabaret on Friday, June 26 as part of the Club Series with Nafro Band opening up the evening. Check out the video for a taste of Vieux Farka Touré's unique sound.
