Backed by a band of musicians steeped in multiple cultural traditions, Bongo’s live shows bring together a whole world of influences from the African diaspora with driving rhythm and infectious joy.

Bongo Sidibe and the TonTons make audiences jump out of their seats and dance!  

A devoted educator, Sidibe is committed to his community. He teaches West African drumming and movement in Bay Area public schools and holds classes for adults as well. As an experienced community builder, Sidibe also facilitates drumming classes for organizations and companies.
