"How your music ignites the soul! When you dance it is as if joy itself were celebrating. When you sing the rhythm of the ages pulses through the air electrifying all in its path. You are a marvel, a wonder to behold. We are emboldened and inspired to be in your company as often as possible." --Karen

"Your concert was the culmination of a very full week. It was very much enjoyed by the students. We all had a wonderful time listening, singing and dancing with you. Your expertise and talent are inspirational to us." --World Language Department, Woodstock Academy

On December 17th, we performed at the Emergenza Festival.  There, we wowwed the audience with our music, and it paid off!!  On April 7th, we are on to Round 2 of the competition.  Show support, be there, and vote for us!!

I`ve never seen our group begin a conga line during a band`s opening song (especially after three days of music and dancing)! Thanks again for adding to the success of this year`s festival. Have a great year!" --Matt Speier, Sproutstock 2003 Festival Coordinator

"It is my wish for this music to be in direct contact with the soul of the audience, to lift up their spirits and to bring a sense of freedom to their minds." --Mamadou Diop

We have been selected as a finalist in the

2006 Lo-Budget Love Competition.

"Thank you for a great performance. MAMADOU`s energy and sound were what we hoped for. This concert should easily inspire more members of the MIT community to come forward and share their gifts." --David Long, MIT ABD - Performing Arts Coordinator
