Legacy Arts Ensemble

Our Roots

Founded in 2015 by Traci Jai (Temne, Sierra Leone) and Khary Kamau (Kissena, Burkina Faso), and comprised of artists who have traced their african ancestry through DNA, the mission of The Legacy Arts Ensemble is to utilize traditional West African storytelling, music, and dance as a means of activating ones own legacy and empowering audiences to embrace and celebrate their Roots.
