Percussion d’Abobo is a collective of young drummers from the Abobo district of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, brought together by master percussionist Sidiki Dembélé. The group emerged from a local training programme created by Sidiki to share traditional rhythms with a new generation and build opportunities through music. The ensemble performs powerful, high-energy pieces rooted in Mandeng musical traditions, including djembe, dunun, and balafon. Each member has been trained in both technique and cultural understanding, with a focus on respect, discipline, and group cohesion.

The group engages in international tours, workshops, and school visits that promote cultural understanding and inspire yo
