 NOTE FROM CDP: These pages were created for Nansedy Keita and Sayon Camara's first visit to North America in November-December of 2002. The workshops and performances were very successful and enjoyable. We hope to bring Nansedy and Sayon back in the future. Watch this space for updates, including photos from their workshops and performances in Chicago in 2002.
