Hi! I'm currently doing a research investigation on Yoruba theatre, in particular, the music and dance aspects, and unfortunately, here in Sydney, I've tried to contact a few different people unsuccessfully. Do you know anyone who might be able to help me in general with Yoruba dance and music?
If anyone has information please contact this person. Thank you! (:
