Our School
Kafolike Chicago is the 1st school created by Sekou Conde. This school has been in existence since 2013.
As a student of the school you not only learn various rhythms, history of the culture, the people, but the region of the rhythm in which we study in additional to solo phrases, build stamina, and more.
Kafolike Book/Audio
The Ka Folike Instructional Book and audio CD is a dictionary and notated form of rhythms created by the Malinke people of West Africa for traditional use, created by myself as well as crucial information need for Djembe and Dundun players.
I took on this endeavor for the purpose of bringing some clarity to the beautiful art form of Djembe and Dundun drumming. This project helps to raise the bar for the learning process of the musical culture of the Djembe Orchestra.
