WHAT IS PENCHMI?

The word Penchmi ( in Senegalese Wolof is written “Penthmi)” is the word we use to describe the gathering of the ancestors, timeless/spaceless, as well as the gathering of the elders of the traditional Senegalese villages, in the center of the community under a baobab tree, to discuss all matters of life, freedom and peace, but most of all to remind us of the LOVE and RESPECT shared amongst each other. 

These sessions are hosted by the Senegalese most respected cultural value, the “Teranga”: the act to share and support each other always in happiness. Its core virtue is to measure wealth and abundance not for how much we have, but for how much we share and give to others. The “teranga” it’s the essence of the Senegalese culture.

WHO IS DEMBIS THIOUNG? 

Dembis Thioung, a mesmerizing master of the West African dundun drums, Griot by blood and Bayefall at heart, serves as the gatekeeper of these conscious drum, dance, and chant gatherings.  Through ancestral and miraculous rhythmic keys, he opens energetic portals, that invites participants to connect with themselves and each other. And to express freely through sound and movement, guided by the wisdom of the spirit of the drums.
