Walo Walo

Listen to Massamba’s own band - Walo Walo! Walo Walo feels like a Senegalese wedding party at the Blue Note! Massamba’s performance skills are well highlighted as the front-man of this project. He conducts the band with dance moves and talking drum fills. Audiences are captivated by his rhythmic story-telling and Wolof tassu (rapping).

Massamba Diop with Baaba Maal live on stage at the montreux jazz festival

Baaba Maal

One of Massamba’s big achievements is being a member of Daande Lenol.  The band was started by one of Africa’s greatest singers, Baaba Maal in the early 80’s.  Massamba is a founding member of the band and has been a driving force ever since. He propells the band with his exquisite talking drum playing.  The band developed a distinctive sound fusing traditional African instruments and electronic approaches to create modern music such as mbalax, Afropop and African infused reggae.  Today Massamba continues to perform with the band.
