National Troupe of Nigeria, will entertain you with his no-hand flips and
master dance personality.

her extraordinarily graceful movements and voice expressions.
Kombo Omolara, another Trinidadian, drummer, and master stilts walker, does
creative dancing while being suspended four feet in the air on stilts, and does
not miss a beat.
Roberto Dominich, master Cuban drummer, will challenge you to keep up with his incredible hand drumming speed.
Dion Jacobs, a native of Tobago and former student of Wayne Guerra
(Trinidadian master djembe drummer), will demonstrate his extensive knowledge of djembe drumming.
