Led by the irresistible energy of master rhythm guitarist and drummer Mamadou Diop, MAMADOU presents a world-class cultural experience. The sound is a guitar and drum led West-African pop that includes the rhythms of high-life, juju, rumba, samba, salsa, and reggae blended into authentic Senegalese ethnic rhythms. Though MAMADOU’s songs are primarily sung in Wolof, the language of music is universal and every audience they perform for instantly understands and reacts with joyous dance.
