Mohammed Alidu, a gifted **talking drum artist** from **Tamale, Northern Ghana**, has made waves in the music world with his deep-rooted, ancestral sound. Drawing inspiration from the legendary **Bob Marley**, Alidu’s music is more than just rhythm—it is wisdom passed down from the past **kings of the Dagbon Kingdom**. His melodies echo lessons of the past, yet they remain profoundly relevant in our everyday lives.
Alidu is not just an artist but a visionary. He founded the **Bizung School of Music and Dance**, an initiative he proposed to the **Playing for Change Foundation** as a way to give back to his community. Through this school, young people are trained in **African music, instruments, and dance**, preserving the rich cultural heritage of the region.
At this year’s **Playing for Change Day**, an annual festival organized by the Bizung School, Alidu’s performance was nothing short of electrifying. His music, filled with ancestral wisdom, left the audience in awe and served as a powerful source of motivation for the students. Alidu continues to be an inspiration, nurturing the next generation of African musicians while keeping the spirit of his people alive.
