Fundraising Workshop for Drwm Y Ddraig

Welcome to the world of Sidiki Dembélé, where the vibrant rhythms of traditional African music come alive. Sidiki hails from an ancient line of Malian Griot musicians, raised in the rich cultural traditions of his ancestors. Though he is a gifted multi-instrumentalist, his heart belongs to the djembe, a drum he describes as “a spiritual force, teaching us to live in peace, love, respect, humility, and tolerance.”

Now based in Manchester, UK, Sidiki’s remarkable journey has seen him perform with and compose for prestigious groups across the world, including the BBC Concert Orchestra and the Royal Shakespeare Company. As a teacher, Sidiki offers immersive experiences in both his workshops and his annual trips to the Ivory Coast, sharing the depth and spirit of his music.

Whether you are a musician seeking collaboration, an event organiser looking for an unforgettable performance, or an aspiring drummer eager to learn from a master, Sidiki is ready to connect and inspire. Reach out today, and let’s create something extraordinary together.
