Senegal-born and LA-based master sabar percussionist and composer Aba Diop shares a striking performance while on tour. 🇸🇳 Coming from generations of griots, his music places sabar rhythms, traditionally used for healing, prayer, and celebration, at the very forefront of his sound as a lead voice, alongside jazz improvisers and griot singers alike. 🌍✨ Big thanks to @aba_diop_yermande_family for sharing this gem✨ #AbaDiop #Sabar #Senegal #WestAfricanMusic #Griot #AfricanDrumming #CultureThroug

The Sabar drum: Zero chill, full power. Played with one hand and one stick, this drum cuts through with its powerful, sharp tone - a heartbeat of Serer tradition. #Sabar #westafricanmusic #africandrum | African Drumming
