Super Mande Percussion - African Drumming Academy & Performance - Melbourne

We had Super Mande Percussion perform at Clayton Festival on Sunday 23 February. The group is vibrant, engaging and easy to work with. Their communication was efficient and effective. The performance was excellent and the music was infectious. A great group to engage with for an event or festival.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Mande and Kofi from Super Mande Percussion come and perform at our community event in Ashwood. What started as a performance, then morphed into a drumming workshop, group singalong and dance-a-thon- no small feat! The professionalism and patience of the group was very much appreciated by us! We hope to have them back again and could not recommend enough. Thank you again, Sophie, Mande and Kofi!

Such a privilege to learn how this ancient instrument is made. Mady is the real deal, authentic drum maker. I love my drum and it has helped me to progress with my journey

Thank you so much to Super Mande Percussion for bringing down their African Drumming Academy students to perform at our Multicultural Day at Preston Market. Very professional and wonderful performance!

Making my drum with Madi was the most wonderful and profound experience.he is such a master craftsman and Djembe player, he has wonderful stories to share about the drums and their origin.we shared some time drumming which was such an honor.best thing I have ever done.love my Djembe.thanks Madi

What a delightful experience it was to deal with Mady. Extremely polite and demonstrated and extensive knowledge in his field. Thank you for the great service!

OMGoodness!

thank you so much for enabling me to created such a wonderful instrument and for the experience of doing so, with Madys story telling and singing

the drum has some powerful magik
she is beautiful inside and out

i have recommended Mady and the workshop to friends and will continue to do so

Super Mande Percussion, What a great performance, Engaging, professional, bring everyone on their feet. I have spoken to many people who attend their performance on 10/05/2018, and everyone described them as "Awesome'".

I had a wonderful time at Super Mande Percussion's drum making workshop a few weeks back. I learnt that Mady is not only an master drumming teacher but he is also a very talented master djembe maker and coffee maker. I learnt the art of drum making under Mady's expert guidance and I am so happy with the end result.
Mady goes the extra mile and provides the best 'made with love' coffee and the workshop ended with a brilliant drumming lesson.
If you're looking for a quality djembe, do this workshop. You will get experiential learning and a beautiful master djembe to take home! Thanks Mady x

I've had the pleasure of booking Mady & Super Mande Percussion for various events. He delivers a strong, energetic performance that never fails to get a crowd going. Great on stage with vocals or roving performance.

Great performance in Morwell at our Multicultural Festival 2017. Wonderful to have a diverse and talented group of people performing together on stage. Multicultural festivals bring people from different ethnic groups together in celebration and harmony. Thank you Super Mande Percussion for travelling all the way to perform for us.

Super Mande was fantastic! The students were completely engaged with the presenters, who made the session fun. The best thing is that it covered so much of our curriculum, fitting in with the music program as well as the PYP unit of inquiry.

Fantastic - great fun, great drumming, got everyone involved! A real cultural experience. Thoroughly recommended. All ages would enjoy.

Always look forward to my classes with Mady at Super Mande Percussion, and I LOVE the djembe he made for me. Highly recommended.

For me. Mady is 'not only' a master and djembefola of traditional rhythms from Mali. I experience the layers and mentoring of oneness at the intersection he teaches at, both poly rhythmically and of technique. I feel privileged to be both a student and of family connection that Super Mande Percussion offers.we swing in the essence of Mali song
