BOSTON DEBUT

“Ecstatic power . . . building slowly and steadily to a fever pitch.”—New York Times

Sidi Goma performs exhilarating Sufi devotional music and dance filled with intoxicating drum patterns, joyful praise dances and virtuosic feats of agility that gradually reach an ecstatic climax. The wildly energetic ensemble of 12 drummers, dancers and singers provide a rare opportunity to discover the joyful and exuberant music and dance of the hidden community of Sidi from Gujarat, India. The mysterious, little-known Sidis are the descendants of Africans who traveled from East Africa to India over the last 1000 years.
