Djembe-L FAQ Memorial to
Babatunde Olatunji

4.07.27 to 4.06.03

With great sadness, our dear friend and drum teacher,
Babatunde Olatunji, passed away,
Sunday, April 6, 2003, 7:30 am, age of 76.
"I am that I am, I am beauty, I am peace, I am joy, I am one with Mother Earth. I am one with everyone within the reach of my voice. In this togetherness, we ask the divine intelligence to eradicate all negatives from our hearts, from our minds and from our actions. And so be it....ashe."
