In fond remembrance of Dervin Richardson affectionately known as “Dow”, the extraordinary keyboardist, bath pan bass player, and musical talent of Mayoumba Folkloric Theatre, we celebrate a man whose artistry left an indelible mark on the rhythm and soul of the group.
Dow's fingers danced gracefully across the keys, weaving intricate melodies that brought to life the old-time cultural beat of Mayoumba's performances. His skillful command of the bath pan bass added a unique depth and resonance to the group's sound, creating a rich tapestry of our musical history that captivated audiences far and wide.
Beyond his technical skill, Dow’s dedication to the craft of using modern musical instruments and techniques with the our cultural instruments were driving forces behind the cohesive and enchanting performances that define the Mayoumba Folkloric Theatre.
As we bid farewell to this remarkable artist, let us remember Dow not with sorrow, but with gratitude for the melodies he gifted us, the memories he crafted, and the passion he ignited. May his music, generosity of spirit and kindness continue to resonate in our hearts, a timeless tribute to a maestro who will forever hold a special place in the soulful symphony of the Mayoumba Family.
Rest in Peace Dow with love your Mayoumba Family
