About Ina Onilu Drum and Dance Ensemble
Ina Onilu Drum and Dance Ensemble mission is to provide traditional west african teachings, and performances thru drum and dance.
We are currently involved with kids in different African dance troupes around Milwaukee, WI. Every adult member of Ina Onilu are professional and experienced drum and dance insrtuctors as well as performing artists. We decided to come together to create unity among artist in Milwaukee and worldwide, but more importantly we came together for the children that we currently work with and begin to build a beautiful ensemble of kids from the inner city poverty of Milwaukee, WI.
We MUST begin to teach our people the origin of today's music if we want to begin to curve their thinking patterns.

"M.A.C.U.M. mission is to unite the youth of Milwaukee through traditional West African art which includes but not limited to, West African Drum, Dance and Theater. We will draw upon the skills, & knowledge of various community, national, & international artist to aid us in this endeavor. We aim to foster a sense of comradery, among the city's youth in order to alleviate the violence in our neighborhoods."
M.A.C.U.M. is the overall vision for Ina Onilu Drum and Dance Ensemble, and The Village Drum and Repair. The ideal is to use African traditions, teachings, and culture to rebuild and diversify our community. Milwaukee is segreted and lacking unity.
We are currently involved with kids in different African dance troupes around Milwaukee, WI. We also offer our own youth and family drum and dance class for the purpose of unity building among families and peers. Our classes provide proper techniques, positioning, and posture for both dance and drum. We will most importantly teach the origin of dances and rhythms we provide in the curriculium.
We MUST begin to teach our people the origin of today's music if we want to begin to curve their thinking patterns.
