Ballet Africains de Guinee tells the story of the famous King, Suniata Ketia of the Mali Empire, which is very fascinating, esp. when seen as dance & music the only way that the Ballet Africains de Guinee can do it! Also, I include, a link to give further history on Sundiata Ketia & the history of the times & area. Quality of video& sound, is good, but not great but very watchable ! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundiata_Keita |

I was impressed not only with the high degree of skill and acrobatics, but the fact that at that time, none of the company was younger than 45yrs of age. An inspiration on many levels. |

I also saw them about the same time with their production of" Heritage ",I'm not sure if I can they all were not under 45 years of age, but i know many have been with the company for some time, because I remember seeing many of them in earlier productions. But this video (documentary) is with a whole new troop( 2007) who are younger. Although many ,if not all are very fit physically fit, to endure the rigors of dance esp. African dance, which I'm sure is very demanding on the body over the years . So we have a whole new group, ready & eager, to take on the challenge & excellence of this dance company. |
