The Atlanta African Cultural Festival is a lively fusion of African and African diaspora dances and rhythms, presenting a diverse array of traditions through the art forms of drumming, dance, and other cultural expressions. Manga African Dance has expanded the Osun festival to include a broader range of African diaspora traditions, in addition to a pan African repertoire. We extend a warm invitation to join us in this extraordinary celebration of cultural diversity.
