about

The Dagara people believe that the colors of the butterfly resembles the beauty of God. Bernard Woma holds master's degrees in African Studies and Ethnomusicology from IU. He has performed for U.S. president Bill Clinton, Queen Elizabeth 11, Nelson Mandela, and President Obama--teaching his daughters music and songs of Ghana. His gyil concerto composition, "Gyil Nyog Me Na" in the spring of 2006, at Zankel Hall in Carnegie Hall, is a testimony of his musicianship. Bernard is the Artistic Director of the award winning Saakumu Dance Troupe and the founder and director of the Dagara Music and Arts Center in Accra. www.dagaramusic.org
