It’s so amazing to dive into a new genre of dance and music that was totally mysterious, and to slowly demystify it. I’m studying Sabar in Dakar, Senegal right now. This is Chebidgian. I didn’t spell that right but that’s my best guess at the moment. It means fish and rice in Wolof.
My studies in Senegal are funded in part by @regionalarts (RACC)

Germaine Acogny (born 1944), is a Senegalese dancer and choreographer. She is responsible for developing "African Dance", as well as the creation of several dance schools in both France and Senegal.
"She is known as the mother of African dance." She established her first dance studio in Senegal's capital, Dakar, in 1968 and has since become a major figure in African dance, blending contemporary dance with traditional African styles. She has been choreographer and artistic director of many dance companies and studios, including Mudra Afrique in Senegal, and Studio-Ecole-Ballet-Théaťre du 3è Monde in Toulouse, France. In 1997 she established the International Centre for Traditional and Contemporary African Dances, L'Ecole des Sables in Toubab Dialaw, Senegal; she is also the founder of the Jant-Bi Company.
Celebrating a year anniversary this month since Youssou N’Dour and Le Super Étoile De Dakar brought me to Paris to perform with them at #bercy, a concert arena filled with 30k spectators, sharing the stage with some of the best artists from Western Africa. I still get teary eyed when I hear the crowds reaction at the end, chanting my name... my heart explodes, still, and I am humbled with gratitude to Youssou and the whole team for bringing me and welcoming me in. I’ll be sharing more clips and images from the experience, consider this part 1 ✨
