Kaago is a collective of experienced artists led by musical director Henri Gaobi and dancer/ artistic director Rose Zan Lou. Henri and Rose are both from the Gouro community of West Central Ivory Coast. Having performed together for many years in the National Ballet,  they, and the other experienced artists in KAAGO, specialise in rich and varied performances. They incorporate singing, percussion, mime theatre, stilt-walking, acrobatics, and authentic village mask dances, leaving their audiences mesmerised and enchanted.  The number of artists vary, sometimes five, sometimes 10, depending on the setting.

Henri Gaobi is thought by many to be one of the finest exponents of traditional djembe playing in Britain. This Master Drummer is able to keep the traditional rhythms of the Ivory Coast alive within the context of breath taking contemporary performances and workshops.
