Jali Kunda was founded by Keba Diabate and Patricia Sumnicht in 2010. In 2024 we were joined by Keba's 2 brothers Mamadou and Abdou Kambaye to provide African drumming and dance classes and performances at schools, libraries, afterschool care, day care, adult care facilities and community centers. The artists of Jali Kunda have extensive and varied experiences that they bring to their performance of West African music.
