Founded in 2007 by Guinean circus artist Yamoussa Bangoura, Cirque Kalabanté draws inspiration from the vibrant music, culture, dance, and performance art of West Africa. Now based in Montreal, the organization also supports education and humanitarian projects in Guinea, Bangoura’s home country. Cirque Kalabanté’s performances are infused with live Afro-jazz, percussion, and kora music, creating an electrifying atmosphere filled with energy, agility, and joy. The company blends circus arts with African traditions, offering audiences a dynamic and unforgettable cultural experience that celebrates the richness of West African heritage while promoting global connection and collaboration.
