Nimbaya! at Symphony Space

NIMBAYA! is a troupe of women from West Africa playing the djembe, an instrument historically reserved for male players. These female artists have made a name for themselves in choosing to become percussion players, demonstrating their desire to control their destiny and lead themselves out of a life of poverty through art. A major draw at several international children’s festivals, the company's amazing drumming and high energy dance is both fun and inspirational for children, young and old.
