[The Boss]

If you do not know the south of France, and that you hope to go there in the months to come, you should try to meet one of the most talented Djembefola resides in France : Fato Koma.

10 years old, Fato began to play in his country of Burkina Fasso, where a few years after having studied its first rates/rhythms, it starts to play in the national ballet : Woilté. A few years later, it tooks part in the formation of the group Regae Percussions Root, which have a very great success in all West Africa.

Fato, if we need to compare it, has the skill and the dexterity of master like Mamady Keïta, with this difference : Fato is only 28 years old. After having played with famous master percussionsites European (like Guem) and of the formations of Guinea, Fato, try to teach its knowledge with French. Maitre of ceremony with the Touramakan group, you will be able to discover it in all the festivals organized by the towns of Nice and Cannes.

This forum is just great!!!!

I used to play with fato (we used to call him phantom) about 12 years ago.
I then moved around the planet and just got back to the south of france. I was trying to get in touch with him for months when I decided to search this forum... And voilà....

Thanks for being the best forum on percussions ever.

I just contacted Fato and I hope he'll get back to me soon
