As a presenter at the Jamaica Performing Arts Center, I have had the privilege of hosting numerous talented artists and performers, but I must say, Kofago’s “KASSOUMAII” show premiere in August 2022 was truly a standout performance."

“It was an absolute privilege to have Kofago perform on our stage at Jersey City Theater Company. The level of talent and professionalism displayed by the entire cast was truly awe-inspiring. From the moment the lights went down and the music started playing, the audience was completely mesmerized. Kofago’s performance was a beautiful fusion of dance, music, and storytelling that left everyone in the room captivated.”

Kofago’s Work Embodies the Spirit of Art, Education, and Empowerment
“The Kofago Dance Ensemble, the Kofago Institute, and Kofago Taraji represent the very best of what community-rooted artistry can achieve. Through powerful performance, thoughtful education, and youth empowerment, Kofago not only preserves African Diaspora traditions but also uplifts the next generation of cultural leaders. Their impact in Queens and beyond is deeply felt, and we are honored to share space with their inspiring vision.”
