Kofago Institute

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."

Kofago Institute

“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.”
