Music Company led by Vieux Bakayoko
Ansoumana ‘Vieux’ Bakayoko is a master musician. A djembe player and musical director, he also plays and teaches Doundoun, Bolon (the West African base harp) and Krin (wooden log drum form Guinea). His djembe workshops take you to the heart of this ancient tradition and all his students are encouraged to understand not just the djembe but the doundoun and the songs and the meaning of each piece they learn.
In his native land Vieux was an outstanding performer, leading many ballet troupes, creating and performing complex musical arrangements and ‘marking’ the beautiful dance as part of the ‘ballet’.
