For years, he has been carrying out educational work with a clear purpose: to propose an approach to African culture, so unknown in our Western society. For this purpose, he created the Lokolé Project, referring to the communication instrument, whose creation took place in the Central African villages, with which he announced the imminence of some collective activity in the villages. Lokolé in turn encompasses different projects: painting, dance, percussion, etc. This project reflects the spirit of the “call to dialogue” of this Central African instrument. He is a professional musician, has performed in different festivals in Spain, and has given several workshops with children to raise awareness of African culture.
