"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

"We would like to thank you and your fellow musicians for your contribution to our World Languages Week at Woodstock Academy. The week was tremendously successful, in that our students were inspired to broaden their horizons through food, trivia, language games and your music. 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. Thank you for being a part of our effort to bring cultural awareness to our students and our community." --World Language Department, Woodstock Academy

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and the band for performing at our 2003 Sproutstock Festival. Your performance was very well received by our participants. As you could see, the Sprout participants love to dance and high energy music is what they demand. The band`s infectious energy was quite apparent. 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. I hope you enjoyed yourselves and had a safe trip home. Have a great year!" --Matt Speier, Sproutstock 2003 Festival Coordinator

"Thank you for kicking off our 2003 ABD Summer Concert Series with 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. We also appreciate your flexibility in rescheduling the event as we battled Mother Nature." --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. Akin to his compatriot, Youssou N`dour, Mamadou infuses an intense energy and sparkle into his music to match his spellbinding vocals. A name to add to your list of world beat artists." --CD Baby

"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

"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

"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

"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

"On behalf of HAWC's Board, staff, and volunteers, I am writing to thank you for performing at the WALK for HAWC 2006. Your support is deeply appreciated by everyone involved with HAWC, but most especially by the women and children we serve.  We received tons of positive feedback on your performance!  People really enjoy and look forward to your performance year after year. Again, thank you so very much and we hope you will join us again next year." --Melissa Elmer, HAWC
