Dramane Kone and Ballet Djelia Kadi

Phenomenal drumming and great dancing! They were entertaining and interactive. Everyone at our event enjoyed them!

Dramane Kone performed at my Black History Month event on February 6, 2021 in Cathedral City. They were good. The music was wonderful. But I have to be honest. My contract was for a 10:30am start time. They arrived at 9:10am to set up (do a sound check, etc.) and was finished just around 10:00am. He said they were going to go grab a bite to eat from the Taco Bell that was less than a block away. Before leaving, Dramane confirmed our contractual start time of 10:30am. As it started approaching closer to the start time, I called him and got no answer. I texted and left messages. They did not show back up until 11:00am, delaying our start time by thirty-minutes. Totally unacceptable! And when I brought the matter to his attention, he said "he did not know."

Overall, they did a good job. The music was awesome. But it was very highly unprofessional that they left and arrived back late, delaying our start time as a result of it, and then was dishonest when confronted about the situation.

Dramane and his team were fantastic. They were so accommodating for our company-wide virtual event last Sunday. We are a home-care company looking for ways to support our caregivers working on the front lines during the pandemic and their energy was perfect! Thank you for your amazing performance during such pressing times. We really appreciate it!

For cultural month, Dramane Kone and Ballet Djelia performed at my daughters school and did such an amazing job! Everyone loved them from the kids, who danced and played the drums with the group, to the teachers who got up and danced with the kids! Not only was it incredibly fun, it was also very educational. The kids learned all about West African Drums and the African dance moves that go with them in a fun interactive way! We’ll definitely invite them back next year!!!
