• Biography
• Womblegnon cultural exchange is a professional
  dance company created in January 2009 in Abidjan,
  Cote dIvoire at the eve of the social unrest
  that left the country divided for almost 10 years
  by a bloody war.
• The group came up as cultural agent of peace and
  unity by providing a safe environment for war
  affected artists and children, and established as
  national cultural exchange company that promotes
  and preserves the cultural legacy of the Ivorian
  people.
