YAMOUSSA BANGOURA
Multidisciplinary artist having started his training in circus within the Guinean troupe Circus Baobab, Yamoussa began his professional career thanks to an African and European tour of the show “The legend of the drum monkey”.
After being spotted in Spain during one of Cirque Éloize's tours, he was recruited within the latter and participated in the creation, then in the world tour, of the show “Nomade” as an acrobat from 2002 to 2007. He joined then in 2010 the equestrian company Cavalia for the creation of the show "Odysséo" and toured with them until 2012 before being able to devote himself from now on to the projects of his company Kalabanté Productions.

Yamoussa performs frequently in other special events, most often on behalf of Productions Kalabanté, with Cirque Éloize, Cavalia, Les 7 fingers de la Main, Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Fantastique, Artcirq, Productions Nuits D ' Africa, Miss Africa, Miss Guinea and composed the musical works of Cavalia for the show "Odysséo". In 2015, he was alongside Dominic Champagne for the play “Moby Dick” performed at the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde in Montreal.
