West-Can Folk Performing Company | Afro-Caribbean

West-Can Folk Performing Company is a long-established afro-Caribbean performing group in Quebec, Canada. At the time of its inception, most members were recent immigrants to Canada. Their vision was to showcase Caribbean culture abroad. Now, the group consists mostly of first generation Canadians who continue to learn and demonstrate aspects of afro-Caribbean Folk culture learnt from their parents and elders.

The group has expanded its horizons to include Haitian folklore and traditional African dance styles. During its 30+ years of existence West-Can has touched the hearts of many with their exciting performances, theatrical presentations and drum and dance workshops. Over the years West-Can has offered drum and dance classes to the children of the Caribbean community, ensuring that the rich Caribbean folk culture is passed down to the next generation.
