The Bessie Award-winning Asase Yaa African-American Dance Theater is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. This milestone will be marked by their first national concert tour since 2017. The tour will feature performances of The Revival: Djembe in the New Millennium, which will premiere at their 3rd Annual Rhythms & Movements Festival on February 28, New York City.

The original production initially developed in 2010 by master Djembe drummer and choreographer Yao Ababio, Founder and Director of the company. Ababio has teamed up with his brother, K. Osei Williams, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the AsaseYaa Cultural Arts Foundation.
