" Les Ballets Bagata in Concert-DVD"
NEW DVD!! Directed by Youssouf Koumbassa, this new DVD has highlights from the legendary concert in New
York in 1996. Costumes, choreography, and sound are awesome. This should be in the library of any serious dancer or dance instructor. Features
the dances: Yankadi, Sofa, Soli, Coucou, Soko, Sorsoner, Bagata, Kindia Soli, Mendiani, Wula, and Konde. Drumming, headed up by M'bemba Bangoura
is rock-solid, BUT drummers are off stage, and only seen in 1 rhythm. That's why this is mainly "just for dancers!"
