BONGO SENEGAL

Let’s join our friends Aba Diop and the Yermande Family, a collective of grand griots from Senegal, to connect the dots between generations of West African music-makers. Aba Diop is a master sabar drummer, bringing the ceremonial/celebratory/spiritual percussion of the ancestors into the modern age through dynamic performances with the Yermande Family band, and collaborations with international musicians. Be a very happy fly on the wall when you watch this video of Aba and friends visiting his grandfather’s house in Senegal.
