Percussive Versatility of Waly Loume from Àbájade at Havana Jazz Fest 2024
You would think, drumming comes naturally, but even if you a talented, there is a long road to excellence. Immersed in the Senegalese African traditional music since a young age, Waly started with the djembe type drum. He enrolled at the conservatory in Bagnolet at the age of 7 and study classical percussion, but also drums, when he started listening to hip hop.
He completed his study in classical percussion at the City Conservatory of Paris and continued his career as a classical instrumentalist and other conservatories in contemporary music. At the same time, he studies percussion in Paris in Sabar (traditional Senegalese percussion) and in Gennevilliers - Afro-Cuban music. Throughout his poly-instrumentalist training, he joined numerous ensembles: Àbájade, Boubacar Kafando (Burkinabe fusion), the group of Maur Cyries (pop-rock) as drummer, Le Feste Antonacci and also electronic music. At the same time, he performs in the classical field with Radio France orchestra.
The cool venue of 'Fabrica des Artes' (FAC) on the westside of Havana provided a sophisticated atmosphere and audience. Àbájade is a group of musician from Paris and at this concert; they were even stronger with the participation of some Cuban musicians. It was a party from the first note! The 'Fabrica' is definitely worth to visit even when there are no concerts. This was taken on the last day of the jazz festival and the atmosphere was electric. La Fabrica has rotating exhibits of paintings, sculpture and photography.
