A COLOURFUL high octane traditional dance display from West Africa will be performed by young contemporary artists.

Ballet Nimba will perform Bagatai at The Market Theatre, Ledbury on Saturday, November 8.

They are self styled ambassadors of West African musical culture and their excitingly dynamic shows feature furious percussive beats, soaring vocals, a mesmerising flute player and rootsy acoustics of the Ngoni with acrobatic dance thrown in for good measure.

Bagatai begins at 7.30pm with tickets, costing £12 or £8 students, available by logging on to themarkettheatre.com.
