In 2002, in collaboration with Siriki Sanogo, Adama founded Djembeso CI drum and dance ensemble.
"Djembeso" in the West African dialect Bambará means "the house of djembe". Adama chose that name because his familiy has been playing the djembe for 33 generations and his native home was known as the house where the djembe is played. In 2005 Adama moved to the US to perform and teach djembe. Since then he has played in major cities all over America. Currently Adama resides in Asheville North Carolina where he plays with the afro-beat ensemble The Afromotive.
