Womba Drumming and Dance set to Dazzle UK Audiences with Powerful Rhythms and Traditional Moves
Womba Africa Drumming and Dance, a traditional cultural troupe from Ghana—a country in West Africa—is set to embark on an exciting tour across the UK. Renowned for their use of traditional instruments to create melodious, original compositions, the troupe never fails to get audiences on their feet with their high-energy performances.
“Womba” means “We are coming” in the local Ga dialect, and true to their name, the troupe makes a powerful impression wherever they go. Their upcoming UK tour, scheduled for September and October 2025, promises an immersive cultural experience centered on drumming and dancing.
From September 18th to 20th, the troupe will host a workshop and training program. This event will delve into the history and origins of various dance styles, showcase traditional costumes and instruments, include storytelling sessions, and provide hands-on training in dance techniques, among other activities. The workshop will take place at Lewsey Community Centre Landrace Road Luton LU4 OSW.
The tour will also feature two live concerts:
- September 27th, 2025, at Lewsey Community Centre, Landrace Rd, Luton LU4 0SW — starting at 6:00 PM
- October 4th, 2025, at The Plough, 74 West Street, Farnham GU9 7EH — also at 6:00 PM
