The West African Music Ensemble studies the polyphonic and polyrhythmic music of West Africa with a particular focus on the Music of Ewe people of Ghana, Togo and Benin. This music combines song, dance, and percussion. As each component is crucial to the experience of Ewe music, all members participate as dancers, singers and drummers. The West African Music Ensemble is regularly featured in the Centre for Ethnomusicology's " World Music Sampler" and the University of Alberta International Week as well as occasional special events. The Ensemble is fortunate to own a complete set of authentic West African instruments for use by registered members of the group.
