Mark Ernestus' Ndagga Rhythm Force
Saturday
It takes a few instants to pick up on the explosive and contagious rhythms of Ndagga Rhythm Force. Led by the stunning stage presence of veteran percussionist Bada Seck and singer Mbene Diatta Seck, the group - joined by more characters from the Dakar scene - is an exhilarating percussive powerhouse, laced with sharp electronics and dub bass. What started in 2011, when German DJ and producer Mark Ernestus traveled to Senegal in search of original Mbalax recordings, has since grown into a celebrated ensemble. After performing across Europe over the last years, Mark Ernestus' Ndagga Rhythm Force returns to Le Guess Who? 2025 with the exciting new album Khadim.
