Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force (Senegal)

Percussion fireworks from the heart of Dakar: Ndagga Rhythm Force is undoubtedly one of the most explosive African band acts currently on stage – but that wasn’t originally the plan.

It all began in 2011 when Mark Ernestus, the founder of the Berlin record store Hard Wax, travelled to Senegal in search of original Mbalax recordings. There he invited over 20
percussionists to a spontaneous jam and recording session, in which the legendary drummers of the Jeri Jeri family also took part. The result was the double album 800% Ndagga and an idea was born.

Since then, the project has developed into an extremely well booked live act – thrilling clubs and major festivals throughout Europe.
