Friday night at Sutra Lounge in New York, Maimouna Coulibaly will be performing alongside myself and DJ King Solo for Africology’s Afrique Sessions.

Maïmouna Coulibaly is one of Paris’s premier “African Urban Dance” boosters, choreographing some of the biggest artists music videos, teaching dance workshops, releasing DVDs, running her own dance company, and writing, directing, and starring in her own plays about Sub-Urban Paris, and African immigrant youth identity. This is her first and only public performance in New York, so come get a taste of Paris on Friday!
