"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
"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
"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
"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
"Senegal" is being played on BandRadio.com. Why not request Senegal from their playlist. It helps us rise on the charts. Lately, we have moved up to #2 on the charts!! Thanks for your support!!
"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
"Having made a name for himself in Africa, Canada and Europe, Mamadou blesses the American airwaves with his fresh, alive and vibrant, Senegal-bred Afropop. A name to add to your list of world beat artists." --CD Baby
"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
"There is not a song on this CD [Djibi] that I don`t like. I wanna give it a 10!" --Matt Dizzo, Tre One Fo Ent
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
