Bi-Okoto Cultural Institute

Our “E WA JOSIN - COME AND WORSHIP” presentation is a delightful experience embracing cultural & spiritual similarities and bridging the gap of differences. This presentation has been carefully selected to highlight music, songs and dances of praise from various West African countries. We present workshops to congregations by teaching worship songs (in multiple languages), instrumentation or praise dance movements and/or give a performance with audience participation during your service. As every church is different, we tailor our programs to suit church block parties, festivals, children productions, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Easter services and special events. The programs below can be booked together or separately*.
