As a God-given talent and natural artist and professional Musician, I have traveled throughout Africa, Europe, and the United States and Canada. I now reside in the North Shore, Massachusetts, and have formed a successful world music band that we call simply " MAMADOU ". I would love for you to sign up for the band newsletter - then come see us.
Mamadou Diop and MAMADOU's yin-and-yang effect are on glorious display in the african world music and the world fusion music.
The person I am today is the result of amazing life experiences and enriching encounters.
My goal in this life is to learn and teach as much as possible about as many things as possible (or impossible); about energy and the soul; to be in tune with the body, mind, and spirit, as a spiritual vibration; about the real and the unreal; what it means to truely believe; and the connection of time (I believe they are all connected, on one big wheel out there), so that I can realize myself to the fullest.In the tribal societies, drumming and dancing have long played a central role in the process of spiritual growth. Special rituals and practices take seekers within to experience the reality of their own souls. Integrating this new awareness into daily life becomes a life-long process. Participants journey through soul memories carried by the power of prayer and rhythm. With these new tools for self-discovery, we tap into the endless reservoir of divinity in and around us. All religions and nature slowly reveal their truth through communion.
In Africa the expression of rhythm is used to make a connection with the soul.
Rhythm is the soul of life. The whole universe revolves in rhythm. Every thing and every human action revolves in.
I teach drum and dance classes that express the virtues of African culture. I bring to the participants of my classes and seminars an understanding of life and spirit that is so prevalent in my culture, but seemingly absent here in the US. My commitments are to sharing my culture and music with both adults and children alike.
Feel the joyous pulse of rhythmic Sabar drumming with the African Musician, Drummer, and Ethnomusicologist: Mamadou Diop.
What the experience of Sabar drumming offers:
* A peak experience that bonds all who share it
* An atmosphere of truth, support, and harmony
* Techniques to reduce tension, worry, and stress
* A tribal celebration in an indigenous tradition
* Open heart and mind to awareness of spirit
"Drumming with Mamadou is not just music, but an experience of the heart, mind, and spirit. He evokes self-discovery, spiritual renewal, joy for life, and a deep sense of community"
I invite you to come to my sabar drumming workshop. There, you will have fun with the others in the class as we all play the drum together. More importantly, you will learn how the drum brings us together, heals us, gives us control of our lives, and gives us independence. Feel free to contact me to learn more, and be sure to visit my drumming site .
