I've studied with Famadou only once and really enjoyed it. I liken it to studying with a blue's master. Famadou was an early player in ballet style and in bringing West African music to the rest of the world, and has such great stories regarding the history of drumming in his lifetime. So Famadou would be on my list as would Mamady for the same reason.
Thanks for sharing the other names on everyone's list, it helps when deciding which workshops to study in other cities.
Cheers.
