Kunda African Culture Music & Dance

"Kunda" means "family", a fitting name for this multicultural duo, Kocassale Dioubate from Guinea, West Africa and Canadian-born partner Sasha Belle, who share their passion through fun and interactive cultural music and dance performances, workshops and residencies for children, youth and adults in schools, camps, festivals and community events. A descendant of his Mandingo tribe's "djeliba" or "griot" (traditional musicians, singers, storytellers and oral historians), Koca was born into an inherited lineage of music and entertainment which goes back hundreds of years; he has been playing music since his early childhood, and is excited to share his knowledge with others.
