For the love of the Drum

If music is the food of love, then the music made by the djembe drum is organic health food creating love between people all over the world.

Mamady Keita, Famoudou Konate, M’Bemba Bangoura to name just a few are masters of the djembe currently spreading the music of West Africa throughout Europe, North America and beyond.

Those who have departed this world such as Mohamed Kemoko Sano (experts and trail-blazers in promulgating the culture of the peoples of Mali, Senegal, Guinea) have left a lot for us to discover and ultimately emulate.

This site is dedicated to the propagation of the music and culture of West Africa as developed and practised in the countries of Senegal, Guinea, Mali and the surrounding region. Pull up your chair and taste the delights of West Africa.
