Wazobia makes its second MAJIC appearance! This six member group has a diverse musical background that they bring together to create a unique musical sound that combines traditional African and Afro-Cuban drumming with a variety of other musical influences and styles arranged with modern compositional techniques. WaZoBia means “come, come, come” in three distinct Nigerian tribal languages. “Come” is an invitation of togetherness, and represents unity and diversity in community.
Badenya grew out an obsession with African rhythms and has evolved into a percussion ensemble playing both traditional African rhythms and original material. Badenya is a Malinke word for tradition and community.
