Logo Ligi West African Drumming/Dance Ensemble @ The Laughing Goat

Under the creative direction of master drummer and dancer Maputo Mensah, Logo Ligi consists of musicians and dancers who have studied Ghanaian music for many years. The troupe is dedicated to celebrating and teaching the style and spirit of traditional Ghanaian performance art. Music is used in African communities for ritual ceremonies like weddings and births, as well as for the everyday celebration of life and social engagements. Logo Ligi has grown over the years from the support of inspired individuals that have participated in our workshops and performances. In the past five years since establishment, Logo Ligi has produced a number of outstanding performances and would like to share the beauty of traditional Ghanaian culture with you. The name of the group comes from the Ghanaian language of Ga and translates as ‘to tickle or excite’. In our sharing of Ghanaian culture we hope to inspire you through the use of contagious rhythms, joyous songs, and exhilarating dances of West Africa.
