Seneke April 25, 2009

Seneke is an ensemble of committed artists that skillfully teach and perform traditional forms of West African music, song and dance. The ensemble was created by Master Percussionist Sekou Conde in 2005. Seneke is a Malinke word meaning "cultivation." Sekou's dream was to bring about the formation of an eclectic group of musicians and dancers from diverse backgrounds and experiences. The mission of Seneke Ensemble is to educate as well as entertain audiences throughout the world about the rare beauty and soulful artistry of traditional West African cultures, which permeates every aspect of both material and non-material existence, including astronomy, biology/ecology, law, mathematics, philosophy, and theology - just to name a few.
