About the Group
Domu Africa performs live percussion on a variety of African drums, Djembe, Djunjun, Sabar, and Tama, while their vocals stem from Islamic influenced praise singing and Baye Fall chanting. The combination is powerful and mesmerizing, guaranteed to make you dance!
Domu Africa AKA "African Babies". Domu Africa translates from Wolof to mean "Children of Africa." The members of the band, Ibrahima Ngom, Mbor Faye, Ousman Gueye and Adama Diop are all native Senegalese, who have studied and performed these rhythms and songs since childhood. Collectively they have toured and performed internationally with prominent West African Ballet Ensembles: Les Ballet Afrique Noir, the 2nd National Ballet du Senegal, Sinemew Ballet, Sing Sing Rhythms, The Ballet Bougarabou. They have appeared at Carnegie Hall, The World Trade Center and the Alvin Ailey Dance School in New York.

Praise for Domu Africa
Everyone loved the music at our recent farewell party! Thank you so much. Your group was wonderful. They were also on time and professional. For the first time at one of these events, the attendees broke out into a dance, and even had a conga line! It was a perfect fit.
Tom McCarter, Event Planner, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation
