Here, they met at several occasions with like-minded local musicians such as Kofi Godonu Srigboh, and Isaac Akrong in the summer of 2005 to lay the ground for an expanded performance group with the new name Nutifafa Afrikan Performance Ensemble. It holds its biweekly rehearsals at the Dance Department of York University.
