Unexpected things in life happens which was the case with Yemi. He was not able to perform at my Family Reunion because of an emergency. However, he did have someone to replace him, Frank, who was okay. But when you have specifically requested someone that is who you expect to hear.
Response from YemiConga:
Thank you for been flexible.
The group that came to me home provided an awesome and amazing time during my event. I was a little shocked at first when I saw the two dancers. I expected young high energy dancers. However, the male dancer was awesome and danced well. The drum was great and energetic. The hour I paid for ended about 12 minutes early. But overall it was a good event.

My family and I used YemiConga for our Juneteenth celebration and we had an awesome experience. YemiConga and his dancers were amazing! He and the dancers enlightenment everyone from young and old with their art of African heritages and togetherness. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and I would definitely hire again!
Response from YemiConga:

We hired him for an international day at a school and he perfect--very adaptable and easy to work with. His music added so much to the event and he was willing to pitch in and help when things were a bit chaotic. Would definitely hire again. I know he is excellent music and I wish we had more time to utilize him more.
Great job, very responsive and helped create a memorable experience.
Yemi’s gentle drum was a warm welcome for our guest!
Response from YemiConga:
Thank you for having me, i appreciate your professionalism. Hope to work with you in future.
Thanks
Our students, grades PreK through 5th grade, enjoyed YemiConga’s visit! We all learned a lot about African drums and completely enjoyed hearing him play. I highly suggest him for school events. Hope to see him perform again soon!
Response from YemiConga:
Thank you for having me. I had fun with your students and I like the fact that they were intrigued in the African Drumming Workshop.
Kind Regards,
YemiConga
Yemiconga performed along with a DJ for my fathers 70th birthday party, and he was fantastic!! He played a drum solo as my father entered the door that just really blew everyone away. I was so pleased with him and DJ Mello. They really kept the party going.
Response from YemiConga:
Thanks for having me Tara Turner, I equally had fun. thanks for taking care of me. Kind Regards.
I hired YemiConga to add a special touch to a birthday gift reveal. My wife’s birthday present was a African Safari to South Africa. What better way to deliver the gift than YemiConga and a dancer. My wife was tearful with joy for days! Thank you for making this day one she will never forget!!!!

He played for our engagement and he did a great job!!!! Very impressed, everyone wanted more, lol.
Response from YemiConga:
Thanks for having me William, and congratulations on your engagement. Wishing you guys all the joy and success. I had fun too !
I've worked with YemiConga in recording studio on my house music productions and his work is always amazing and ground breaking. The highlight of working with him was when I got DJ live while he performed on the congas for an Memorial Day 2017 show. His showmanship and improvisational skills were next to none and his addition to my DJ set elevated my show by 10 times. YemiConga is A1.
