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 on Dun Dun

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 Oumar Sagna in July 2003 during his first visit to the UK on a cultural exchange.
They have willingly shared their skills in West African drumming and dance during school and community group workshops as well as private classes.

Both are talented musicians, Oumar dances too, teaching with patience and an obvious passion for their arts. Beginners and advanced students alike have benefited from classes, leaving enthused and inspired. Oumar is also a skilled craftsmen, making and repairing djembe, tama, dun dun and sabar drums as well as other traditional African instruments. He hopes 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.

Storytelling is an important part of African Culture
