A TRADITIONAL WEST AFRICAN PERFORMANCE
AND EDUCATIONAL ENSEMBLE BRINGING THE SPIRIT OF WEST AFRICAN MUSIC AND DANCE TO NEW ENGLAND SINCE 1993!

Jeh Kulu Dance and Drum Theater invites you to join us in celebration through traditional West African music and dance. In the Bambara language of Mali, "Jeh Kulu" means "community" and this is exactly what we hope to build with our audiences! Founded in 1993, Jeh Kulu brings together people of all ages and backgrounds to honor the joyous traditions of West Africa.

Our vision is to raise cultural awareness, create a sense of community, and, at the same time, have fun! Jeh Kulu is comprised of 20+ talented artists who share traditional rhythms and dances from the countries of Guinea, Senegal and Mali, West Africa. The group features several master artists who are well-known in their own countries. Our highly-trained American artists have extensive experience in this art form, as well as in the fields of education and social services. We are also proud to announce a growing Junior Company of multi-cultural youth involved in Jeh Kulu!
