While at the Won Na Won Malan conference in Chicago, Illinois, Paddy caught up with M’bemba Bangoura. Won Na Won Malan was hosted by Moustapha Bangoura, and there were many great drummers and dancers around.
M’Bembe gives us a better idea of who he is, his drumming background, experience and his drumming influences.

Thanx for the interview Paddy, and for the subtitles, for the wind made it a real mess. I always liked M´Bembas playing, although never had opportunity to meet him..
Thanks for the video and the subtitles
