WINTER 2018

For 2018, we've expanded the project, added Sandra "Sasi" Marcelino to the team and launched the KECOSA COLLECTIVE.


We presented a May 2018 music and dance workshop featured Joh Camara, Missia and Fomoro Dioubate, all from a heralded griot lineage.











Saturday, Nov 3, Sasi collaborated with Hyde Square Task Force to host Cuban master dance artist Liethis Hechavarria.
