Eskesta Ethiopian Jewish Dance Theater

[Joe Kurland <ganeydn...>]

I just got back from a performance by a wonderful group of Ethiopian 
Jewish students from University of Haifa called Eskesta.  They 
perform chants and dances of their ancestors as well as dances of 
other ethnic groups in Ethiopia and artistically choreographed dances 
incorporating folkloric dance elements.  Tonight they were in 
Springfield, Massachusetts.  I don't know where else they'll be on 
this tour, but if you have a chance to see them, I highly recommend 
it.
