Manding Jata

A favorite at international children's festivals, Manding Jata brings the cultural richness of West Africa's Mali Empire to Pepperdine. "Sunjata," the tale of the courageous struggle of Sundiata Keita, 12th son of Mali's first king, is told through dance, song, and amazing acrobatics accompanied by a variety of West African musical instruments. "Scintillating…hypnotic…Manding Jata defies the laws of gravity" (Barbados Advocate). More information: www.manding.net
