CHECK ME OUT ON YOUTUBE ----- @ http://www.youtube.com/FodeLavia ------------ "Fode Moussa Camara was born into an artistic family in Conakry, Guinea, West Africa. His musical talent was discovered by the age of five, at which time he began his formal training with instruments of the djembe orchestra. Early in his training Fode claimed leading roles and featured artist status in myriad local productions.
Fode Camara's musical skills were regularly sought after by elder artists throughout Guinea, in Senegal and in Mali. In 1998 Camara was recruited as the lead drummer and musical director of the National Circus of Guinea, an international touring ensemble. His affiliation with the circus was interrupted when, after an international search, Camara was recruited to Senegal's Ballet D'Afrique Noire. Fode began a United States, 32 city tour with the ballet as lead drummer of the widely acclaimed Mandinka Epic, a dance theater production that told the history of the Mali Empire.
In high demand, Camara tours extensively as an instructor, choreographer and performing artist. Camara currently serves as Musical Director for Borenya: West African Drum and Dance, a teaching and performance company located in Columbia, SC
Fode Moussa Camara, Certified Master Drummer, Folklorist, Choreographer, exemplifies the new generation in the preservation of West African traditions and the influence of these traditions on the world. Born into this responsibility, Camara honors his family through his artistic expression of Guinea's musical traditions.
