FOLLOWING last year's successful visit, the totally authentic Osiligi Maasai Warriors return to Arts Alive to perform on Friday, October 3 at Lyde Court.

The Osiligi Warriors were founded by their chairman Tajeu Minnisa in 2007. Their purpose is to benefit their families and community in their village of Kisamis, about 30 miles southwest of Nairobi. Money is raised by a series of UK tours during which the troupe perform tribal songs and dances and spread the word about their culture; as well as the performances, they’ll be giving workshops to pupils in several secondary schools.

Their vibrant performances are sensational to watch, with all ages being enthralled and excited by their natural harmony of song and movement; their jumping, for which they are famous, is something to behold! All performances are introduced and narrated and will appeal to anyone aged 5+.

For more information about the group, their communities and their aspirations, visit osiligi.org. To book for their performance at Lyde COurt on Friday, October 3 at 7.30pm, call 01432 357753.
