About Feraba - ART
This award-winning New York City based touring company is a multicultural and multiethnic performance group fusing the traditional sounds and movements of West Africa with the only true American percussive dance form of Tap.
Our latest project, Sound Bridges and Percussive Dance, is a collaboration between Feraba-A.R.T. and Flamenco y Sol Dance Company. Combining percussive feet and a diverse range of musical styles, this collaboration is committed to honoring traditional art forms while highlighting the creative process and the power of cross-cultural communication. In times of division, we strive to do our part to promote hope, happiness, and inspiration by sharing our unique vision of unity with people of all ages and backgrounds.
