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.

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.
