Mamoudou Konate Simbo is a seventh generation griot from West Africa. He was born in Bo-bo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. Mamoudou has mastered the Djembe, Dunduns, Bendre, Talking Drum, and Calabash. He started his musical training in his early childhood, inspired by his Mother.
Throughout his life, Mamoudou has worked and performed with numerous musicians and artists, coming from various cultural traditions.
EarthMovers Drum Collective started as a garden blessing where everyone drummed and danced. The idea was about sharing good energies and intentions. From there it grew!
Imagine a group of people, picking up a drum or other percussion; and the next thing you know, everyone is jamming! The air is filled with motivating sound and movement. You are floating and really feeling the beat! The sound is healing. You are part of the drumming and rhythm.
Founder, Dave Miller started drumming with pots and pans and has studied with Babatundi Olatunji, Ubaka Hill, Jim Donovan, Arthur Hull, Raquy Danziger, Mz Imani, Greg “Sule” Wilson, Mamoudou Konate Simbo, Mark Wood, Jim Dav, and others.
