Djembe Interview : Jesse Servin

New interview with my long-time friend and musical cohort, Jesse Servin.
Jesse is an exceptional musician, and one of my favorite people to play with.

Jesse and I hang out in Jesse’s living room in California and talk djembe.

Jesse lives in California. Since 2003, he’s been studying traditional djembe music and travels often to Senegal and Mali. His main teacher is Abdoulaye Diakite from Tambacounda, Senegal.

In this interview, Jesse talks about his experiences in Africa, his musical priorities, advice for other students, and more.
