Ouaga 2000 is a visual ball honoring the dances and sounds of West Africa.
Blending traditional and contemporary music, graphic creations, and archival images, this interactive performance takes the audience on a journey from the 1950s to today. The artists invite spectators to immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of the maquis (local bars) in Ouagadougou, Dakar, and beyond—vibrant places of life, sharing, and exchange where music is played at full blast!
On stage, the leader of the ball, choreographer and singer Evelyne Mambo, guides musicians Gurvan Loudoux and Amadou Diao in an evolving multidisciplinary panorama—a big party in which the public gradually takes part. The show features a blend of traditional percussion, Congolese rumba, afropunk, afrodisco, and electronic music for a collective trance.
Between past and present, between small and big history, Ouaga 2000 explores, with infectious groove and joy, the musical and cultural treasures of West Africa.
