Tam Tam Mandingue is a non-profit organisation set up by Mamady Keita to preserve Mandingue music and culture.
Their mission is stated as:
Tam Tam Mandingue USA (TTM USA) is a school of West African drumming dedicated to preserve and transmit Mandingue musical tradition as a tool to promote tolerance, understanding, equality and international peace.
Djembefola.com were recently given a copy of the Tam Tam Mandingue certification guidelines to clear up exactly what is involved in becoming certified.
This is well worth looking into for anyone teaching djembe out there…
