Tamango's Urban Tap March 21, 2007

TAMANGO'S URBAN TAP
Mar 20-25

Bringing together dancers, percussionists and artists from Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Haiti, Cote d'Ivoire, and France in a celebration of his Creole heritage, Tamango's Urban Tap presents Bay Mo Dilo (Give Me Water). A native of French Guiana, master tap artist and visionary Tamango fuses a global blend of dance and music mixed with the visual collage of video artist Jean de Boysson. Through rhythm, Bay Mo Dilo winds through the mythology and culture of creole diaspora.

Tamango, a major player in the New York tap scene, has performed with artists ranging from Gregory Hines to Savion Glover. In this Joyce Theater performance, he and his troupe, Urban Tap, perform a blend of tap, freestyle, and traditional dance with master drumming from Haiti and Guadeloupe.
