Kimberly Caterino began studying West African dance & drum in 1996 in Burlington, Vermont. In 2000 she studied in Conakry, Guinea with former members of Les Ballets Africains, and in 2001 joined Burlington’s Jeh Kulu Dance and Drum Theater (http://www.jehkulu.org/). Her primary teachers in Burlington were master dancer Sidiki Sylla and master drummer Ismael Bangoura, both from Conakry, Guinea. With Jeh Kulu she performed festivals and conferences in the greater New England area, collaborated to organize Vermont’s Annual West African & Drum Conference, and spearheaded a variety of multicultural professional development workshops for educators. She is a former English Teacher with a M.A. in English and a M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. Her love of music and sunshine inspired her to move to Austin, Texas in 2008. She currently performs with Lannaya in Austin (http://www.lannaya.com/).
