EGUN OMODE (children of the ancestors), formerly of Trenton, NJ now in Atlanta, GA, was founded by Baye and Makeda Kemit. We are a West African dance, drum, percussionists, and Yoruba folklore performing arts collective. Our company was originally comprised of teachers, artists, and students of The Garvey School, an African-centered independent school in Trenton. EGUN OMODE is now a collective that incorporates performers from throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. As African-centered educators, musicians and life-long students of African culture, EGUN OMODE brings the authenticity and excitement of West African culture and tradition to the stage.
