Author Biography
Born in Mali, West Africa, and a member of the Minianka (Bamana) tribe, Yaya Diallo was raised in a culture that works, worships, lives and breathes to the beat of the drum. An instrument for transmitting traditional knowledge among the Minianka, the drum is the focal point of Yaya's life story and his link--through the universal medium of music--with the Western world.
Reviews"This is music that hasn't had its wings clipped; music that still possesses the full potential for the sacred and the magical that it had at the beginning of the world." * Magazine of the Place des Arts * "I have been searching for an authentic, traditional CD with chanting and singing, and now I have finally found it." * Body Mind Spirirt Magazine, October 2003 *
