Africa Chiossan (which means “culture and tradition” in the Wolof language) is a group of five percussionists from Senegal and Italy. Their musical repertoire consists of rhythms, songs and dances from Senegal and West Africa.

Each of their concerts is a voyage: the rhythms of the djembé, sabar, doundoun and balafon – the instruments played by the members of the group – accompanied by traditional dancing, are a constant part of day-to-day life in Africa. The group’s concerts offer an explosive crescendo of traditional black African music.

Africa Chiossan
is a Cultural Association  founded in 1996 by Senegalese musician Moris Sene. The main aim of Africa Chiossan is to bring to the public a knowledge of Senegal’s musical tradition and culture while at the same time focusing our attention on the need to share different of ideas and lifestyles.
