Info about the teacher:
Guinean percussionist Sibo Bangoura grew up in Matam โ€“ the heart of Conakryโ€™s arts precinct โ€“ surrounded by a family of griots. His mother was a singer and his father abalafon player. Sibo absorbed the rhythm from his infancy and began to study percussion formally at the age of 12. At 14, he joined Boka Junior ensemble and then played with Ballet Matam for many years, until he moved to Australia.
Sibo currently resides in Sydney and travels to China, Japan, Singapore and Thailand to teach and perform. He plays with his brothers Mohamed and Epizo Bangoura and has a successful 8-piece band Keyim Ba
