to enjoy,
as well as an entertaining mix of live music and unusual
performances!

composers
who relinquish traditional musical notation in favor of
their own
invented visual systems of pictorial or "graphic" elements.
Friends of the High Line is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the

historic
elevated rail structure on the West Side of Manhattan.

What does the name "Yedégbé" represent?
The name is taken from three words in the language of Fon, from the
region of Dahomey (now known as Benin). "Yedégbé" means "with the
approvals of the spirits": after they (the deities and major forces
of their pantheon) gather to decide (or grant) that something is
ready and prepared to happen. Through this project we will try to
bring back and unify the legacy that is still alive and practiced
all through the Pan-African region (including Cuba, Haiti, Dominican
Republic, Brasil, Puerto Rico, Benin and elsewhere). About the
Yedegbe Project
