Foli Douman is an emerging international West African drumming and dance ensemble based in London. Our work brings together traditional rhythms and dance practices from Guinea, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, and Mali, combining live percussion, movement, and cultural storytelling in contemporary performance settings.

From a young age, he was immersed in music, playing African percussion instruments such as the djembe and doumdoum with his family’s ensembles during traditional ceremonies in Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire.
Through our performances, we seek to honour the origins of these traditions while celebrating artistic collaboration, cultural exchange, and the continuing legacy of African diasporic arts
