About Usifu Jalloh: The Cowfoot PrinceUsifu Jalloh is a highly experienced, talented award winning performer and educator who has been working in arts education for over 20 years.
His roots in multicultural Sierra Leone, and his long standing and close association with artists and audiences from a wide range of cultures, have lead him to develop a storytelling style which encompasses international languages, music, dance and story themes.
He was born in Kamakwie in the Karene District of northern Sierra Leone. Usifu has a passion for motivating young people to educate themselves within the context of their culture.
Along with Storytelling and music, he has established Maambena Fest and National Storytelling Festival in Sierra Leone as the vehicles he uses to accomplish this laudable goal. His production Africa’s Cowfoot and The Cowfoot Chronicles serves as a platform for promoting Sierra Leonean and African cultures as a whole by embodying them within the rich Oral heritages of his ancestry.
