  • He is such a funny boy. Beautiful country

  • Lil Abdoulaye Diakite he is something else. Waaw waaw!!!

  • wow he is so amazing!

  • this kid has a gift from the Creator. Also make sure he studies conga drums, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian rhythms and instruments so he is well-rounded in all theory and percussion. Also have him listen to John Coltrane music.

  • I wonder i he still can play solo without anyone leading him

  • No body leads him. Check out his newest vid called mind blowing 6yr old djembe drummer.

  • got the concept wrong there my friend. no one leads djembe players.

  • This is so funny! And so Amazingly talented!

  • *laughs* ahh i love this kid. he's so good and enthusiastic! it's such a change of pace from some of the solemn adults i see play xD of course, most of the adults and friends i have that play act just as crazy as Isaiah (so fun at parties! hahaha)

  • amazing. simply crazy how deep in the zone he is and stays. what is he saying? is it all improvized lyrics or is he saying some sort of song chant. it feels like it's all flowing through him. great stuff. very inspiring.

  • ehe das wa i call potential waaaaw

  • This boy is amazing!

  • CHAMITO!! TIENES DEMASIADO TALENTO!!

    you and tu brother ----->NICE!

    eres comico y arrechisimo

  • I love both of them!

    I hope they have great luck in the future, those two kids. and you know what makes me mad?

    the cows that WE slaughter and murder just for a snack are fed the wheat that feeds only a few of the cows, but it could feed more than 100 africans!

  • good to see that he doesn't need SO MUCH to have fun !

    And he succes !

  • rock on little man. rock on.you got soul.

  • Let Oprah Winfrey invite the kid and his brother to her show. It would be fun to watch them play live. I love these kids.

  • makes me wanna go to west africa just to meet these kids.....amazing

  • he's really good.. i'm in guitars 4 years but when i saw this young kid playing the djembe, i got shocked and can't wait to know how to play a djembe.. he's my primary source of inspiration to be good at playing djembe.. i really love this kid..

  • the two boys are great...i love it when kids grow up with music and learning..great way to raise the kids and great for them to be getting into the music...they will be masters before they are adults...love it

  • He's a real genius! Well-wishes to the parents and grandparents.

  • young man ... you have amazing talent!!!

  • hees so cute><

  • you are blessed with truly gifted children .i play these videos to pump me up in the morning before i start my day.thank you for showing me and the world!

  • that good man keep up

  • it's in the blood. he really feels it. and is something that not everybody have. kid keep loving it.

  • Why would anyone think this is fake? lol...

  • To all who doubt. I was tought Afro Drumming by people from Congo. I was 38 yo, and I was far the oldest. The youngest were 3 yo! I just didn't believe my eyes. I had examnination in Belgium to become master drummer. The youngest master I met was 8 yo! He played me into the ground! And I wasn't the worst. He played a 4 hour during ritus with no failure. I had only to play 2 hours and the examiners had mercy on me.

    Belive me this little Isaiah plays himself, there is no fake.

  • bobthemage,Thank you so much for your support. This is my grandson and you are right this is the real thing. My son films all the videos of the boys in Mali. Unfortunately, until you have seen them perform live it is a little hard for some people to comprehend.

  • My pride!

  • I know who made this video - nice job..

  • Please note: At 00:40, he takes his hands off the drum, and THE MUSIC KEEPS GOING. He his just banging on the drum with music in the background...

  • at 00:40 the person playing the base drum continued to play while he had his hands off the drum.. fortunately, most of us know what is going on...

  • There is always someone else playing! everyone knows he is not the only one...if u listin there is one drum when he is not playing and 2 different drums when he is playing they are not the same one! He really knows how to play.

  • no i dont...fill me in...what is going on?

  • You think this is a fake? You don't have eyes and hears then...can you even tell the 2 sounds apart? Pfffff...

  • get a grip Mega...this type of drumming almost always have more than one player...the kid is not banging as you put it...he actually is playing some very cool counterpoint to the lower drum....you must be a guitar player

  • This boy is gifted and thats definatly a gift from God. I have never seen a 4yr old so passionate in his music and with so much rythm and to his parents WELL DONE

  • I can fall into a trance with this,,great

  • This boy is a STAR. Keep it up.

  • He is a star, wow¡

  • Wow!this little boys is amazing! He knows how to play drum!

  • these Baby Boys are amazing, you adults are shameful

  • please....now i can't show this to the kids because they'll read the comments!

  • bnfmusic your talking total shit. even if america is pro white a black person can still be a racist. now get your black ass back to the ghetto and stop leaving school and getting pregnant at 12 years old dipshit.

  • magic, magic, BIG UP

  • uh, i can imagine, these sessions can take hours! amazing :) i definetely would like to come to his concert one day!

  • "I can never be racist, I am black" If that isn't one of the most racist things I've ever heard! Go away. You're obviously bats.

  • i can c tat this little Isaiah Chevrier toys...r the djembe...keep it up boy!!...u reali impress me!!...

  • You're the racist. I didn't ASK to be born white! I was only mentioning the talented musical artists that *I* am familiar with. And how does collaborating with a white artist "strip away" what talent a "black" artist has? Yeah, I think you're PROJECTING your racism onto me. You can't avoid stepping on someone's toes when they're sticking their feet out in the middle of the walkway, you know!

  • That kid drums with amazing strength and feeling. Wonderful... I would have loved drums at that age.... ahhhhhh.... I love them now.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=iDn-cME_BLA

  • He's a Robot

  • This kid is amazing. Wow.

  • i love thattttttttttttt XD

  • this kid it's really talented, I love him he's so cute

  • LOL!! Chooch has always been one of the most entertaining people I know!

  • Later in life, I can see him being featured on releases by artists like Natalie Merchant, Sting, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush when he isn't making his own music.

  • ok kids lets not fight...i do not see how being FEATURED can strip anything away from anyone..look at me'shell ndegeocello she was FEATURED with john melloncamp...and i have bought some of her music(hers not her with someone else)

    bfn-have you not noticed over the years...whatever blacks do for music

    its scorned

    it becomes popular

    then copied

    think jazz

    think rap

    think before you speak of being racist

    we are all people with different styles

  • There is something about that boy, whenever I watch one of his drumming sessions here it feels like summer is on it's way even though it is the middle of winter over here in Aus.

  • Coolest thing ever? I think so...

  • Muy bueno, excelente! Amo a estos niños.

  • hey guys a guy called rocky might come on here and start being racist..he's doing it to shock people so the best thing to do is ignore him :)

  • He is going to be a true djembe fola if he keeps it up

  • Isaiah is very talented and has great skills!

  • each one is different than the last,glad you are learning all the new rhythyms,very dramatic.

  • WOW,different than the rest,certainly diversified in his talents.

  • does he hurt his hands? his hands look so small and fragile.

  • he has learned a lot of new rhythms since he moved to mali,this is very intense...

  • wild,he puts on a show....

  • he sure loves the drama
