Bamidele is a dance company of art educators, composers, musicians, dancers and choreographers from Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean who are dedicated to the preservations of African and African rooted cultures through dance, music and song. Members have expertise in African, Caribbean and Brazilian culture.

Bamidele Dancers and Drummers were selected the “World Beat Group of the Year” for the Massachusetts Pioneer Valley; they were selected to perform for Nelson Mandela in 1990 and have performed with folk singer Pete Seeger. The company also appears in film attractions including “Secret of the Luxor Pyramid”.

Bamidele are on the roaster of the Massachusetts Cultural Council and have been on the roaster of Young Audiences of Massachusetts. Bamidele continues to produce CD’s of their music, including instructional videos.

This is a wonderful opportunity to expose children and family members to this cultural trip around the globe, sampling rhythms, folklore, and songs from West Africa, Brazil, and the Caribbean.
