From Mombassa, Kenya, this explosive troupe of young acrobats combines acrobatic elegance with music and dance while sharing the beauty of their African culture.  Performers bounce, bop and balance to a joyful Benga beat as they combine Chinese acrobatic feats with East African musical tradition.The Jabali African Acrobats were previously here in 2008 to perform their show. This year they will be performing February 3rd through the 6th at the Atwood Concert Hall. For more information, visit: http://www.akjt.org/ARTIST_5_jabali.htm
