The Colonial Theatre in Canton
A packed house at the Colonial Theatre
The men of Batimbo balance 150-pound drums on their heads
Dressed in the red, white, and green of the Burundian flag
Batimbo joins percussion and acrobatics with their jaw-dropping performance
Dancers land high kicks, leaping splits, and back flips
A woodwind sextet regales the audience
Pairs of two circle one another in perfect time.
The Nouvelle Ville djembe ensemble
Young dancers execute crisp pop-n-lock moves
The boys are joined for a round of waltzing
Old-style waltzing
Floral-skirted, basket-bearing dancers take the stage
