Nigerian Mgbadike Cultural Group
of Sacramento


The African ancestors revisit the world through masquerades. Mgbadike masquerade defines the human valor and strength of the invisible spirits. Drums and flutes precede the procession. The ground shakes as the masquerade dances and stomping to the rhythm of the Oghene gong. The errant spirit calls for the Mgbadike handlers to be the strongest men in the clan. Stay clear its way if not ready to be possessed!

We invite you to experience the spirit of feisty African Igbo Masquerade!
