African Percussion Sabar
Mbar Ndiaye
Africa | Percussion
Based in Europe since 2008, Mbar is regularly called on to give workshops and share his knowledge of the traditional rhythms of sabar with instruments such as the sabar, tama, m’bung m’bung, n’der and lamb.
He teaches African rhythms in a purely traditional manner. His style of transmission directly derives from the oral customs of the griots. Before approaching the drum, the student must first grasp and assimilate the rhythms in the body, before singing them and finally bringing them out onto an instrument with the aid of sticks. Mbar is committed to the transmission of his inherited art and has plans to open a school for talibé children.
Mbar has recorded several CDs of traditional rhythms and sabar songs. Currently he is working on a new CD, which is set for release in autumn 2020.
