From the bush of Africa, Napoleon, Joseph, Issac, Mosses and JJ Sabbah emerge.
The African Showboyz hail from Binaba, a tiny village in the northeast
region of Ghana, West Africa. This tribal quintet is a unique blend and
remarkable experience of African Drum, Dance, Magic and adrenaline. In
Binaba, the drum is a cultural symbol in child naming, marriage and
funeral ceremonies, as well as festivities marking the planting and
harvesting of crops. Dance is a story told. In Binaba, there is no
electricity, nor an opportunity for education, but through sheer
determination and an intense respect for humanity; the African Showboyz
have bridged borders; mesmerizing and enchanting audiences throughout
Africa, Europe, Middle East, USA, Canada, Australia and most recently
Adelaide fringe festival.
