Created in 2008 at the initiative of Pape Samba Sow, alias Zoumba, this company performs regularly in Saint-Louis. It harmoniously combines dances, poems, songs and fire spitting.

The fire-eater, Amadou, impresses by his talent. One is subjugated by this traditional and captivating show until its end. One would ask for more!
