a variety of venues, and as a guest artist with West African dance
companies (such as KOUMPO West African Dance Company in San Diego, Le
Ballet de Kouman Kele' of Los Angeles, and Diamano Coura of Oakland,
CA).
Though an audition process, headed by the phenomenal, Quincy Jones; Ayo was
selected to dance for Nelson Mandela with "KOPENA" upon his
(Mandela's) release from 27 yrs. in prison. "In February 1990, President
F.W. de Klerk began negotiations to release Nelson Mandela, and in June 1990, we
("KOPENA") danced for Mr. and Mrs. Mandela at the Los Angeles
Memorial Coliseum for the Mandela Freedom Celebration.
Many well known movie and TV personalities, as well as politicians, artists,
musicians, and news media were in attendance at this major event. Words cannot
express the vibrancy or the 'joie de vivre' of that moment in
history." for more info.....
