About the Author
Dave Kobrenski is an artist, musician, and writer who has a hard time refusing a good adventure. Between 2001 and 2016, Dave traveled extensively in West Africa to study with master musicians Famoudou Konaté, Sayon Camara, Nansady Keïta, and others. In Guinea, he continues his studies of the Fula flute (tambin) with a master of the Malinké flute tradition, Lanciné Condé.

Dave performs with the Donkilo! Afro Funk Orkestra, 7oddSeven, Sayon Camara & Landaya, and various other groups. He currently resides in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where he continues to hone his artistic skills as well as pursue his studies in anthropology and ethnomusicology.
