Konodon?
The word Konodon, comes from the Malinke language in Guinea Conakry west africa, it means “Dance of birds”, honoring to the immense power of liberty, joy and expansion within the essence of african dance & music culture
This encounter has been celebrated in Mexico and Guinea Cky, created as a cultural immersion and artistic formation in 2015. Throughout its multiple editions it has been a bridge bringing people together from all over the world.

A unique experience, an oasis where mind and body unify through the human experience of happiness and celebration held by art and culture.
