CUMAR

Cumar, a new Twin Cities performing group which fuses the traditional music and dance of West Africa and Ireland, will present an exuberant evening of live music and dance in the Twin Cities.

The group, whose name means “confluence” in Irish Gaelic, features an outstanding ensemble of Twin Cities dancers and musicians, anchored by Fodé Bangoura, former lead drummer for the national ballet of Guinea and artistic director of Minneapolis’ Duniya Drum and Dance; and Cormac O’Sé, a member of the original Riverdance cast and founder of the Celtic Junction Arts Center in Saint Paul.
