Cirque Kalabante (Entertainer)
Biography:
Bangoura first became interested in the circus arts as a young man growing up in Conakry Guinea in the 1990s. He studied the circus performers he saw on European TV and practiced on the beach and dirt around his home. He also studied the Nyamakala tradition of circus practiced by the Fula people of West Africa. He eventually joined Guinea’s original circus company, Circus Baobob, and toured Africa and Europe.
In the early 2000s, Bangoura was recruited to come to Canada with Cirque Eloize, a Montreal-based Canadian cirque company. While in Canada, he also performed with Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia (cirque with horses). In 2007 Yamoussa realized his dream; opened his own company, Kalabanté Productions, in Montreal; and recruited his extended family members, including his twin sisters, brothers, and cousins.
The company began doing shows in Quebec, expanded across Canada and the United States, and now performs all over the world. In 2018 Kalabanté opened its own studio and school in Montreal, where they offer classes in African dance, cirque, and drumming.
