Baba Mosheh is a “Tan-Tan Jali Ba” (keeper of the oral traditions of African drums and culture) and shares these traditions, drumming, and culture with at-risk youth, adults, and everyone willing to learn.
Bantaba takes its name from a Mandingo term that describes the “community circle and gathering place for all important events,” Baba Moshe institutes this in every class, program, and to the communities served.
The Bantaba Dance Ensemble strives to produce quality performances and educational programs that celebrate the cultures of the African diaspora while fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation. In addition to their stage performances, the ensemble also offers educational programs for schools and community groups. These programs provide an opportunity for participants to learn about the history and culture of the African diaspora, as well as to experience its vibrant music, art, cuisine, and customs. They provide a platform for cultural exchange between African diaspora individuals and organizations and the community.
Under the founder and artistic direction of Baba Mosheh Milon, Sr., a master drummer, percussionist, folklorist, and drum maker with over 50yrs of experience starting in Chicago, IL, the organization was established in Oakland in July 1989.
