Description

Mfouambila Kongo Dance Company is a New York City-based dance and drum collective founded in 2015 by Artistic Director, Andoche Loubaki – a master of Congolese dance and drumming from Pointe-Noire, Brazzaville, Congo with over 30 years of drumming and dance experience. While the Republic of Congo (also called Congo-Brazzaville) has several ethnic groups – among them the Kongo, Teke, Mbochi, and Shangha – and nine regional states, Mofuambila’s focus is to represent all music of the Congo from all groups and the four corners of the Congo, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo (also called Congo-Kinshasa) to the East. Mfouambila Kongo Dance Company completes that connection to the African diaspora with its traditionally-rooted yet progressive performance repertoire.
