Born in Senegal, Mamadou Diakhate created Baol African Imports to introduce authentic, handcrafted African masks, jewelry, music, and outfits to the Northwest. His shop recreates a true "African market" atmosphere, where you can find original artwork and clothing from Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, each with a story behind them which Mamadou will be happy to share.
