BAOBAB YOUTH
PERFORMERS
Baobab Youth Performers brings together students from many schools in the Ottawa area to drum
and dance the music of Ghana, West Africa.
Founded in 1995 by current Artistic Director Kathy Armstrong, the group is named for a
resilient African Tree. They have given many vibrant performances in settings such as the
Ottawa Folk Festival, The National Arts Centre, the Black Sheep Inn and at numerous University,
school and community events. They have toured through Ontario, parts of the USA and to Ghana.
Baobab Youth has also been featured several times on radio and television. As part of the
larger Baobab Tree Drum Dance Community, the youth engage in activities that strengthen
individuals and communities both here in Canada and in Ghana, where they have an ongoing
relationship with the small village of Dagbamete. The group has toured to Ghana twice for
an artistic and educational journey.
