ABOUT

I have been playing the African Djembe drum, dun duns, Congas, and other fun instruments for 22 years. I played in an Orchestra. I have been to Africa. We are looking for serious percussionist who can play world music and be open to travel once we put an orchestra together. We have two ballets we have written. My husband is Emmanuel Djo bi. He is a beast at drums.
