A big THANK YOU to those who supported my teacher, BIZA SOMPA, during his Northern CA tour from June 24 - July 3. It was great to have him here since he doesn't get to come often. He'll be back if you missed him! If you did make it out please be sure to update those that missed out so that they can catch him next time. Special Thanks to Muisi-kongo for the collaborative work on behalf of the Fua Dia Congo/Congolese Dance and Drum Workshop, as well as Leslie C, Alseny, Asia, Elizabeth, Cai, and Kris for hosting the workshops in their studio space, we couldn't have done it without you! Again, stay tuned for (CAG)Cultural Arts of Gold artists with future tours, workshops, fundraisers, etc for the (CDDF) Congolese Dance and Drum Festival, which has been tentatively rescheduled for October 6 - 9, 2011....

In Dance,
LaKiesha
Director, Cultural Arts of Gold
