Before therapy had a name, before wellness had a hashtag, there was the drum. 🥁🌍
Meet Daunté Nabi Fyall ( ) — Professional West African dancer, choreographer, UC San Diego professor, and Founder and Artistic Director of DAANSEKOU (Dance+Wisdom) Cultural Arts & Wellness Collective ( ) A grassroots organization in Southern California dedicated to preserving and sharing West African dance, drumming, and holistic wellness practices.
DAANSEKOU isn’t a brand, it’s a lineage, a living commitment to the wisdom that rhythm and movement have always carried for our communities, long before it was packaged and long before it was sold. Daunté creates accessible spaces for healing, connection, and celebration rooted in something real: the knowledge that the body already knows how to release when given the right invitation.
Wisdom, rhythm, movement not as performance but as medicine.
At Zen Fest 2026 Daunté is bringing the drum circle home to DTLA — activating presence, emotional release, and the kind of collective joy that reminds you what it feels like to be in community with your whole body. 🌊
This isn’t just a performance, it’s a practice that’s been healing people for generations and on May 9th it belongs to all of us.
