Beatwise with Mohamed Bangoura

BeatWise perform vibrant, high-energy, powerful, traditional rhythms of Guinea, West Africa. These are the rhythms that gave birth to the blues, hip-hop, rock and funk.

Sacha Allen, Simone Lang, Anne Harkin, Brandon Lowe Elise Bialylew, (drummers), with Sarah Derum and Andy Werner (dancers), have been performing as BeatWise and studying together for two years, including intensive periods in West Africa. Mohamed Bangoura, arguably Australia's most outstanding djembe player, regularly appears as guest artist with BeatWise. The dynamism and exuberance of his performances have the crowd up and jumping.

Together they have produced a CD which presents the culmination of 2 year's work. This self-titled CD presents 8 rhythms of fast, exciting dance music.
