Duniya Dance and Drum Company
About Us
Formed in April 2007, Duniya Dance and Drum Company creates dance and music from Punjab, India, and Guinea, West Africa, as well as unique blends of these forms and beyond. The word duniya means “world” in a wide array of languages, including Punjabi, Arabic, Susu and Wolof. Duniya’s work embodies this word, as it explores the forces that have brought together the members of the company and their dance and drum styles, including, but not limited to, colonization, globalization, immigration, art, dance, music and love.
Our mission is to cultivate respect for traditional forms, foster cultural exchange, effect social justice and engage in community building. Duniya performs and teaches traditional and innovative performance pieces from Guinea, West Africa and Punjab, India.
