Welcome to our site, we hope you enjoy your visit
Tribal Vibes was set up to share our love of African rhythm and dance with a wider audience and to promote the talents of artistes with whom we have had the good fortune to work. Having experienced the hospitality and generosity of the people of Senegal first hand, we wanted others to share in some of the extraordinary talents and creativity we have witnessed both in Dakar and in the UK. |

Arona Lo was one of our teachers when we first visited Senegal in 2002. He is a fabulous teacher and a master on dun dun.He is also an excellent djembe player but we have to say its his singing that really gets to us! What a voice!! We first met Cheikh Diop and Oumar Sagna in July 2003 during their first visit to the UK on a cultural exchange. |

Talented Dancers

| All are talented musicians, Cheikh and Oumar dance too, teaching with patience and an obvious passion for their arts. Beginners and advanced students alike have benefited from classes, leaving enthused and inspired. Cheikh and Oumar are also skilled craftsmen, making and repairing djembe, tama, dun dun and sabar drums as well as other traditional African instruments. They hope to hold drum tuning and repair workshops in the future to enable those of us with our own drums to keep them in good condition. | Oumar Sagna Eats Fire
