2021 Recap

January 8, 2022 By

 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Djembe Zoom Classes

Thank you students for your participation, your passion, your steadfastness, your friendship, and your vulnerability. And for your willingness to try something new and stick with it!

I am in awe of you all and so grateful to have you as students!  What a year it has been on ZOOM!  Thank you for hanging in with me!

Love to all!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Conundrums  20th Anniversary

20 Years! What an amazing, rockin’, extraordinary drumming journey we have been on!  We are sisters of the djembe who have worked, played, loved, supported, encouraged, and celebrated in so many ways! Members have come and gone but “once a ConunDrum always a ConunDrum”.

The rhythms of the Mandingue from West Africa have taken us on a magical ride over these years. We are so grateful for all our teachers on the way.  The gigs have been phenomenal and the people extraordinary!

We are so thankful.  Thanks to everyone who have supported us, loved us, and played with us over the years.

Mamady Keita 1950-2021

Remembering our teacher…

When you were a small boy in the your village, the soothsayer told your mama that you would grow up and do great things for the world. You, my teacher, indeed, did just that.

You helped make this world a better place by using your great talent as an Initiated Grandmster Djembefola to bring people together in love globally.  You enriched our lives by teaching us about the Mandingue, their culture and history through the djembe. This helped to bridge gaps between cultures and taught us to love one another and play with one another regardless of race, gender, color, and age.

I love you Mamady Keita and always will.  You are in my heart and soul forever.  Thank you Baba for everything. I will continue to play the music to best of my ability with you by my side
