Aba Diop & the Yermande Family
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 17 ก.ค. 2020
Aba Diop & The Yermande Family and the various constellations of performer groups all have in common the sabar drum, its rhythms, and a captivating live performance at the heart of the music.
Sabar drums have been a communication device with the ability to relay messages from village to village for miles. The percussion sounds are very much a language which communicates messages of healing and praise: the call-and-response stories and codes of thousands of years of oral tradition.
Rhythmically the music is influenced by traditional West African polyrhythms, the modern, Latin-influenced syntax of Senegalese pop music known as “mbalax,” and Aba’s own original compositions.
Melodically you hear the Sufi-influenced hovering microtonal singing and maqam scales accompanying the elastic, improvisational guitar styles found in the rock and jazz music of the west.
The overall effect is deeply mystical, uplifting, and undeniably dance worthy.

Skinning a Senegalese traditional drum—Mbeng Mbeng Sabar
Making my own sabar is as important to me as playing them. I stretch the skins "faire le foor" using the traditional method, with "pegs" and "mes" (webbing). I take great care in making my sabars as beautiful as I can. There are many steps, but once the drum is finished, it has a rich sound that can be tuned to be exactly as I want it. This particular sabar, known as a "mbeng mbeng," plays a vital role in maintaining the base rhythm or "mbalax" in the music. Through each creation, my energy enters the drum, adding a unique essence and depth to its sound.
All of my percussion are made for my own performances. I do not sell sabar or skin them for others.
