Panzumo Entertainment brings West African Rhythm, Dance, and Song to the Santa Barbara and surrounding communities through classes and workshops, performances, and recordings. Our mission is to inspire and empower people of all ages through music and dance. We offer drum and dance classes for children and adults in Santa Barbara and Ventura – with a focus on performance training. We perform all over Southern California with the Panzumo and Konkoba ensembles, often collaborating with artists from various musical backgrounds and traditions, including Classical, Cuban, Brazilian, Native American, Jazz, Celtic, Funk, and more. Our live performances are perfect for any event, from private parties and interactive workshops, to festivals and concerts. Visit our bio page to read more about our kids and family programs.
