Africa Day 2009 - Wassa Wassa (wide-angle) | Photo 05

Formed in June 2008. Wassa Wassa is a collective of people living in Dublin who, with growing numbers, have found a keen interest in the traditions and cultures of West Africa. Among them, singers, dancers, drummers and teachers of same, who together and separately have spent many months on end studying in the region. Using the basic traditional rhythms and dances, they have added some contemporary and some traditional African songs and added their own arrangements, traditional costumes and hats you wont forget! Also 10% of all Wassa Wassa profits go to La Roue Tourne-A charity to help musicians in Africa suffering with Polio and street children
