Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia!. I realize Wikipedia might seem confusing at first, (please click on the blue words to read the policy/guide they refer to), so I thought I'd drop by to welcome you, and explain a little bit about what we do. Wikipedia is not like many sites on the web. Wikipedia has Core policies, such as neutrality, notability, verifiability, etc. What does all of this mean? Well, it means that any article on Wikipedia must demonstrate notability (meaning it must be note worthy, covered by the media, etc.), and have reliable, third-party sources (such as news media articles, magazine/trade journal articles) written about the subject, and the information given in the article must cite those sources to verify it is true. From those sources, information is summarized, paraphrased, condensed, and worded neutrally to make an encyclopedic entry (information cannot be copied from other sites). See Wikipedia's manual of style, layout guide, your first article, article development, and how to edit for assistance.

With regards to your edit to Mamady "Wadaba" Kourouma, please be aware of words to avoid when editing, and the neutrality policy, and avoid using terms like: "The brilliant djembe master,", etc., as this is not neutral. Also of note is the biographies of living persons policy, which explains that articles about living people must be sourced with reliable, third party sources, and cited, to verify the passages. I have added tags to the article that allow others to assist with these processes, and to format it per the manual of style. I have also removed the all-capitalized names, again in keeping with the manual of style. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the help desk, and happy editing!
