The Anderson University West African Ensemble is a student organization and music ensemble (MUP 123-I) that performs with guest artists from Conakry Guinea, and performs in a variety of venues including churches, schools, and community organizations. The purpose of the AU West African Ensemble is to:

• glorify our creative Lord through performance of diverse arts
• develop creative capabilities through performing in a diverse performance practice
• develop a broader understanding and appreciation of West African performance practices of the Malinke people groups.
• make available to members opportunities for development in the arts of dance and music
• acquaint students with the privileges and responsibilities of learning and applying music and dance as art forms
• assist the university in various projects throughout the year
