Gokhi-Bi System is a Senegalese group that has been instrumental in shaping and defining the African brand of hip-hop; fusing ancient traditional rhythms with urban American beats. Stars in the booming Senegalese hip-hop scene since the late 90s, GBS burst on the international scene with their socially conscious lyrics, catching the eye of the U.S. media and performing major festivals including Chicago's World Music Festival.
African drumming and dance is offered in the Thursday Workshop Series on February 19th.
