Euba's Dance

Composer(s): Nkeiru Okoye

This 5-minute fireball is an exhilarating ride whose kaleidoscopic texture changes are carried by an incessant ostinato. Okoye’s powerful work is named in tribute to the Nigerian musician and scholar Dr. Akin Euba who coined the phrase “African pianism,” describing the inclination of many African composers to use the piano’s percussive effects.
