Details:
Sogbety Diomande was born in the village of Toufinga, a small farming community located in the Northwest region of the Ivory Coast near the border of Guinea in Africa. He started his career as a drummer and dancer at a very early age. He has toured with Ballet National de Cote d’Ivoire; been a member of Kotchegna Dance Company, Mask Dance Company, and has been featured with many troupes in NYC and around the US. Sogbety started his own troupe in 2005.
During the Spring and Summer of 2000 Sogbety toured with Jimmy Buffett''s ''No Passport Required'' tour as the opening act. For most of 2001 Sogbety was a resident artist at Disney World in Orlando, FL where he performed at Harambe African Village with Kobake, an impressive Ivoirenne quartet. Sogbety tours occasionally with Jim Donovan''s Drum the Ecstatic but spends most of his time in Ohio doing drumming residencies and performances for schools, libraries, correctional facilities and festivals. In 2008 he gathered together a troupe of 10 talented musicians and dancers to headline the Lotus World Music Festival in Bloomington, IN. He started his own festival in 2006 called Sogbety Diomande''s West African Celebration where he brings master drummers and dancers together in rural Ohio to teach and perform at his 3-day drum and dance camp.
