West African Drum

Come explore the rich and trans formative rhythmic power of jebebara (aka djembe). We will learn the djembe, dunun parts, songs, history, and rhythmic language of each rhythm. This class will challenge students to look beyond the obvious and into the deeper aspects of the rhythms that will unlock the hidden gems of djembe music, and west african musicality in general. BYOD, or rent a drum for $5/class (advance notice required).
