Meet Mohamed Gueye

Born into a family of traditional griot musicians in Dakar, Senegal, Mohamed Gueye has been surrounded by rhythm, music and storytelling since childhood.

Learning from his father and grandfather, both respected master drummers, Mohamed developed a deep understanding of traditional West African percussion, including djembe, sabar, tama and dunun.

Now based near London, Mohamed has performed internationally and worked alongside celebrated musicians including Baaba Maal. His performances have taken him to festivals such as WOMAD, Africa Oyé and Drum Camp.

Known for his infectious energy, exceptional musicianship and patient, encouraging teaching style, Mohamed brings far more than rhythms to his workshops. He shares the cultural traditions, stories and musical knowledge passed down through generations.

We're delighted to welcome Mohamed back to North Wales for three teaching days of immersive drumming, musical exploration and community in the mountains.
