Born in Bamako, Mali, DJENABA SAKO began her journey with dance and music at the young age of 5. Her family put a lot of importance on her education, but to her father’s dismay, she was often skipping class to follow the rhythmic sounds of drumming that floated through the the streets of the city, and would go dance for the drummers. When she was 10, her father once again pleads for her to continue her education so she would one day find a good job. It was at this moment that Djeneba recognized her passion and love for dancing, and declared that dancing was her job.
