June 21, 2021So grateful to Djembe Fusion for performing at our Junteenth (on-line) event. Dramane Kone and the ensemble brilliantly engaged the group in West African drumming. It was a get on your feet performance. Only wish it had been in person.

March 8, 2020Nicho of Djembe Fusion, performed at our event. Our guests enjoyed his drumming very much, and he also entertained us by playing an instrument called the Ngoni. He was very talented and professional, and I would definitely recommend Djembe Drum and Dance for your event.

November 12, 2016I would give them 5 stars, except their dancer did not show up until after the event... but my students were excited and danced. Definitely bringing them back... minus the dancer :)

Thanks so much for your review, Samuel! Our performers enjoyed drumming at your event. I sincerely apologize for the dancer's unfortunate and unforeseen transportation issue. We *do* have other dancers in our ensemble! We are looking forward to working with you again! ~ Michelle

October 4, 2016I saw them for the first time at Renaissance Fair last spring and it was AMAZING! They brought sooo much energy, with a lot of rhythms and some very nice people.
