About Me

Orisirisi African Folklore is an awe-inspiring adventure rooted in the history, culture, and traditions of Africa: folktales, legends and myths, spirited drumming, dance and song, children’s games, and the African tradition of audience participation. Husband and wife team Don and Tutu Harrell founded this nationally acclaimed company in 1986 to share the beauty and poignancy of African life and culture. Since then, the company has presented its unique brand of folklore to countless people from a vast array of demographics and cultural backgrounds.

Orisirisi is a touring ensemble from Florida. Please contact Katie Driskill, School and Community Relationships Coordinator, at 757-961-3737 to discuss tour availability!

What is a tour? A tour is a set number of programs (3-10) scheduled within a specific time span (2-5 days) and within a specific region. Tours are subject to change or cancellation if the minimum number of programs and/or dates are not met.

All tour pricing is subject to change based on number of programs, travel distance, hotel stays, and meals. Please contact us if you have any questions.
