Doudou N'Diaye Rose was called the "<a href="spotify:artist:776Uo845nYHJpNaStv1Ds4">Jimi Hendrix</a> of the drum skin." A virtuoso percussionist and master of the tam tam or sabar drum, <a href="spotify:artist:56QlZ0AFfkaaHyANLVkg5h">Rose</a> proved equally effective whether playing with a small ensemble or a symphony orchestra. He performed with the National Ballet and National Orchestra of Senegal, and established his own music school, a groundbreaking institution that, contrary to Senegalese tradition, accepted female students. Performing with his troupe on world stages beginning in the mid-'80s, <a href="spotify:artist:56QlZ0AFfkaaHyANLVkg5h">Rose</a> also became known to Western audiences through appearances with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:0kbYTNQb4Pb1rPbbaF0pT4">Miles Davis</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7C4sUpWGlTy7IANjruj02I">Peter Gabriel</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:22bE4uQ6baNwSHPVcDxLCe">the Rolling Stones</a>. His 1994 <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Real+World%22">Real World</a> label album Djabote, produced by <a href="spotify:artist:1DptMAbvFajxK4ZObg1OdA">Eric Serra</a>, featured 50 drummers and 80 singers. Born to a Wolof family, <a href="spotify:artist:56QlZ0AFfkaaHyANLVkg5h">Rose</a> inherited the status of griot or oral historian. <a href="spotify:artist:56QlZ0AFfkaaHyANLVkg5h">Rose</a> was reportedly the father of 38 children. ~ Craig Harris & Rovi Staff, Rovi
