On the roadtrip in Senegal the magic Suitcase found Mamadou Diatta; a dancer/choreographer/danceteacher/musician who knows everything from breakdance to salsa, capoeira, contemporary dance, all the way to traditional wolof sabar and djembe. We joked about him being a marabou because of his "eyes in the neck" and talent for teaching and picking up the group as a whole as well as every individual. A breakdancing marabou saying "ey yo!"
And as warm and glittering his smile can be, as strict is his look and voice when you try to get away with a little lazyness during class ;-)
We continue our collaboration in the stageperformance, and hope to invite him to Sweden soon, to show him the country and set the choreography before the tour in Africa. Wassa wassa!
