The Legend of Zaouli is a preview of a unique musical will be presented for the first time in San Francisco at the African American Art and Culture Complex.

Zaouli was born as a result of a death of a teenager girl known to be the best dancer in a village. This tragedy had shocked the entire village, across the region, resulting in a bitter fight and differences among the villagers, but which later ended in a peace truce that no one thought would be possible.

The story of Zaouli has been passed down from generations to generation. The musical will take viewers through a magical experience, retracing the life of a young woman, who was wrongly killed, but her spirit later becomes the embodiment of a dance mask that will inspire many.

Zaouli is a forest music dance, originating in the region of Marahoue of the Gouro tribe in Cote d'Ivoire, the Ivory Coast (West Africa), Zaouli is known to be one of the fastest and best footwork dancer out of all dance masks in Africa. Zaouli represents, female beauty, grace, finesse and strength. This event is kids friendly and very educational. To learn about the story of Zaouli, come and see "The Legend of Zaouli.
