Calabasa Calabasa: Dancing and Making the Music of Life is a on a mission to spread joy! We come to you dancing while singing in English, Spanish, Yoruba and Twi and making a joyful shekere noise. Our mission is to respond to the times, even as we look to the roots and traditions of the African and Caribbean diaspora to reflect spirituality, social justice and respect for and recognition of women. Our favorite places to perform are community events.
