Djembe Fever Drum & Dance Tour
Scientists have not yet been able to find a cure for Djembe Fever.
We strongly recommend NOT coming to the drum and dance classes, presented by M'Bemba Bangoura and Michael Markus across the U.S. on this Spring tour - it is highly likely that contact with these classes will infect anybody who is new to drum and dance, and it can dramatically intensify the symptoms of those who already have this highly contagious illness.

The music for this album is traditional, "old school" Bambara-based djembe music. These arrangements were put together by master drummer Aruna Sidibe. He plays and is joined by his students and other musicians. The style is noticeably different than the one played by younger drummers or the "young gun" arrangements, the style currently favored in Bamako, for example.
When dancers want to drum
Everybody loves dundun dance, but dunduns are typically too small to get a comfortable striking angle. Wula's new Sangban for Dance are built extra tall so you can play comfortably while standing up, and focus on the dance moves! These large Sangban also sound great in a regular dundun ensemble. Wula also makes sticks that are just the right weight and size for dundun dance.
