Mamady Keita was born in 1950 in Balandugu, a village
situated in the Wassolon area of Northern Guinea in
West Africa. The son of a master-hunter and healer, his
talent as a percussionist manifested itself at a very
early age.
The story goes that his pregnant mother wishing to know
the destiny of her child consulted a soothsayer who
announced that her last son would become a famous
drummer. After mastering the djembe, Mamady went on to
explore a variety of drums and percussion instruments.
His instructor was Karinkadjan Konde, an elder of the
village and djembefola (djembe master). Konde initiated
the young Mamady into the secrets of the djembe and
taught him the history of the Manding and their musical
traditions.
At age seven, Mamady performed in the film "Africa
Dance" with Harry Belafonte. At fourteen, he was
selected to join the Guinean Djoliba National Ballet at
its inception. In 1979, he became the first
percussionist to be named Artistic Director of the
Company, a position he held until 1986. He continued to
perform as a soloist during this period and appeared in
the film "La Vie Platinee". In 1986, he joined
Souleymane Koli's troupe Koteba, an African musical
theater group based in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
In 1988, Mamady Keita moved to Belgium. Since founding
the percussion school Tam Tam Mandingue in 1991, he
divides his time between teaching and playing with his
ensemble Sewa Kan (the name literally means: "Without
music, no joy; but without joy, no music"). Sewa Kan
consists of six musicians: five percussionists/singers
and one female vocalist and dancer. In 1991, filmmaker
Laurent Chevallier made a prize-winning documentary
about Mamady's return to his native village after 26
years. "Djembefola", as the film is called, won several
prizes even prior to its distribution.
