Greetings, I have been planning a trip to Guinea this Winter to study dr mming and dance through Moustapha Bangoura and his learning program. I first found out about this trip after purchasing his DVD's Tinkanyi 3 & 4 which are Guinea Dance Instructions. As an artist and storyteller one of my biggest principals is supporting the work of those who have laid the foundation we walk on. Now, I am asking for your help to reach my goal to better myself and the community I love and

For this past 'throwback Thursday' I was on the African village vibrations and I came across a clip of the drummers from Toubakouta, Senegal. This area is a popular destination that sits right between Kaolack and The Gambia. I was told a style of Sabar played with Djembe is called Sabar Wolof. I’ll have to do more research or ask some friends but regardless the combination of Djembe, Djundjuns, and Sabar is spectacular! Check this out!

We had a such a good time at The Linda opening for Mamadou Kelly! Thanks to everyone that made it out and helped to produce a night of magic as well as those who support from afar. Check out one of the songs dedicated to drummers and dancers we played here!

We’re super excited to be opening for Malian great Mamadou Kelly at The Linda Performing Arts Center in Albany this Saturday! The show starts at 8pm but get there early!! You can also reserve your space today!
