Dance Troupe
of Liberia. While with the National Dance Troupe, he was recruited by the
Jungle Dance Troupe, which later changed its name to the Liberian Cultural
Ambassadors in 1977. The Cultural Ambassadors were invited to the United
States where Kaikpai performed at Swain Auditorium in California,
Disney World and various schools and universities in Los Angeles. In
downtown Los Angeles, he was awarded a certificate by former mayor Tom
Bradley.
After returning home, Kaikpai was asked to return to the National Troupe. Now he was performing with both leading dance companies in Liberia. In 1983 he was appointed to travel with Liberia's only jazz group, Kapindi, to Switzerland to represent Africa at the Gurden Festival at Bern. Because of his style of drumming he was asked to travel to Germany and Australia were he had the opportunity to promote Liberian culture. After returning to Liberia, Kaikpai was appointed director of Bong County Dance Troupe by the National Bureau of Culture and Tourism. |
