Inspiring improvisator, djembe master ADAMA DRAME (Burkina Faso) will lead us straight into heart of Malinke culture. Adama Drame is not just eminent musician but also a socially aware artist acting against economic and cultural colonialism.

Master percussionist Adama Drame is a sixth-generation djeli griot from the Malinke region of west Africa. Following in his father’s footsteps, Drame became a djembe-playing griot - a revered village storyteller / historian, who recites his people’s important events - wars, family histories, seasons and hunts - to the rhythms of the djembe drum. A griot’s performance can last beyond a full night, and mistakes in tempo or phrasing are not tolerated...

​

Three meetings with the master of djembe Adama Drame are: a film by Adam Różański dedicated artist: ”Griot’s Stories”, African rhythms workshop and a concert at the festival cycle ”one instrument concert”.
