We have been selected as a finalist in the

2006 Lo-Budget Love Competition.

"This is a wonderful musical experience that has universal appeal, and Mamadou`s high energy sound has a way of keeping your spirits and your senses alive." --From Review by Mark Witner of CD Djibi

"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

"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 would ask Mamadou back in a second. They were very professional, put on a great show, and were a joy to work with. Impression: Great! The people loved it and it got the whole crowd to dance." --Robin Franz, Executive Director, CSBA

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
