Afrique Sogue is developing a subscription-based online learning platform featuring West African drumming and dance instruction led by Mohamed Lamine Bangoura. Through weekly video content and guided study, students will be able to learn, practice, and stay connected to the rhythms wherever they are.
Performances and Touring
Afrique Sogue presents live West African drumming and dance performances for festivals, schools, private events, and community gatherings. Artistic Director Mohamed Lamine Bangoura is currently traveling and touring throughout Africa, deepening cultural exchange and artistic collaboration. Touring and performance engagements continue internationally and in the United States.
Cultural Roots
Afrique Sogue honors the living traditions of the Manding people—where rhythm is history, movement is memory, and music is a shared language.
Through drum and dance, we carry forward ancestral knowledge, storytelling, and values that emphasize unity, resilience, and collective identity across generations and communities
