Vibrators Rock Ghana

Vibrators of the Earth Dance Ensemble, a youthful traditional dance group will this year stage series of live musical and cultural performances at selected community centres in the country as part of its educational programme to promote cultural music and dance among Ghanaians. The group would thrill cultural music and dance lovers in selected towns in the country with variations of traditional music and dance as well as contemporary dance pieces. Ghanaian and African traditional music and dance fans are assured of magical performances. Apart from the music and dance performances the group is planning to organize a workshop also for those interested in African music and dance. The workshop forms part of a series of workshops and performances that are geared towards ensuring cross-cultural collaborations as well as the much-needed interaction between artistes and the public. In addition to sharing of artistic ideas and exploration of some artistic areas of production, the group would also introduce participants to various aspects of Ghanaian cultural music and dance that would be beneficial to up and coming groups in the creation of choreography works. The group, which was formed a few years back, aims at promoting public awareness, appreciation and access to cultural music and dance. The group’s activities are also geared towards developing contemporary choreography creations. The group is made up of Iddrisu Musah Alhassan, Harrison Yankey, Samuel Ata Dikye, Harriet Ansah, Isaac Seidu and Emmanuel Quarshie. Others are Mamanoon Alhassan, Jonas Quaye, Mike Gbena, Celestina Tetteh, Alfred Yaw Boateng and Lily Osei. The rest are Richard Tei Martey, Kenneth Kuvodu, Emmanuel Quarshie Pappoe, Kelvin Amankwaa Afrifa, Ruth Aryeetey and Elizabeth Asare.
