Yum Yum Drums visits Pinellas Prep School

Today was a very good day to be with all those children learning about African Culture.
It wasn't only good for the reason I go to teach them but because these children are learning the story of Sundiata Keita. It makes me happy to see the rest of the world learning about African culture, music, art, dancing. It really touched me a lot. I am so happy to share that with these kids. Today was one of the beautiful day to meet bright children who were educated, present, very interesting. They were so happy and excited to see the Griot come to their school to tell the story and play the drums. We had a very good time and blessing. I was very touched for one of the children who just come and talk to me like he know me for years and years and say, "Baye I love you". This is one of the most beautiful things in the world. I wish every day everyone can be happy like that. To be happy and around 300 children singing, dancing, like Hakuna Matata - no worries, no problems. And also the great people who are teaching - they are so generous and respectful. I am thankful they gave me, Baye Griot, the chance to tell my story. To them I say Thank you so much and I love to go back to see you again. There was a moment when I feel like we are living this world and we are all one and the same, dancing, jumping. Another best moment was taking the break and talking to Greg (the music teacher at the school who was the one to introduce me to this school) There were about 10 of his students on break and we sat and started to jam - guitars, keyboards, drumkits... it was so exciting! It was beautiful to see them inspired by music, the music brings people together, doesn't matter who you are and where you are from. I thank the school and my love Annette to share this moment with me and thank you for your support. A big kiss . Peace and Love the Griot Baye Kouyate.
So Happy. Hakuna Matata. Good night.
