Celebrate Heritage!  Celebrate Life! With Elegba Folklore Society
 
No matter your age or background, the spirit and the openness of the Elegba Folklore Society will enchant you.  In a way that perhaps you will expect or in a way that is totally spontaneous, your energy will blend beautifully with ours, closing the gap between performer and audience.  Participants find themselves swept up in a universal cultural energy that links them with the global significance of these timeless art forms.

The Talking Drum
The drum is a legendary communications tool -- a punctuating teller of life as it happens.  This lively delivery of African and African American folktales and narratives combines with dance, vocal and instrumental music to engage audiences along a rhythmic journey over continents and through time.
