Féraba was founded in New York City in 1995, through the collective creative vision of Austrian tap dancer Irene Koloseus and world-renowned master balafonist Abou Sylla from Guinea, West Africa.

A multicultural and multiethnic performance group, Féraba fuses the traditional sounds and movements of West Africa with the American artistic form of tap dance.

Since 1996, Feraba has captivated audiences with its unique performances in schools, libraries, community centers, and festivals.

Through the vibrant music and rich cultural traditions of West Africa, students will embark on an engaging journey, gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation for the dynamic rhythms and diverse percussion styles that inspire movement and joy.
