Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this african drum class:

Drummers! We are thrilled to welcome Bolokada Conde of Guinea back for our Spring 4-Day Workshop series! These workshops provide a unique opportunity to experience the rich artistic culture of Guinea without having to get on a plane!

For many years Bolokada has come to Boston to help us create a community of West African style drummers by providing rhythms, songs, and understanding of the ceremonies of his village in Guinea. You don't get this material anyplace else. What is especially memorable are the very unusual songs and dances he brings to us and as always, the memorable solos that are not all of great difficulty but you remember them! 

All of the workshops will be great. We will have the first night as a slightly more beginner workshop so you can really get ALL the basics you will want and use during the rest of the weekend. Many advanced drummers will take all of the workshops anyway. But beginners, don't be afraid of the first Workshop; we're building that for you!

You can take one, two, three of all four days of workshops for maximum benefit.We hope you can come! It will be a weekend to remember for a long time!Improve your drumming skills and experience! Have a most memorable weekend that may transform your life!

Beginners to professional levels - all are welcome to all workshops. Bring your djembe (rentals available for a small fee).

Schedule:
  • Thursday - Introduction for Beginners to Anybody Workshop
  • Friday - Beginner to Anybody Djembe Workshop
  • Saturday (12:00pm - 2:00pm) - Beginner/Intermediate Djembe and Doundoun
  • Saturday (2:30pm - 4:30pm) - Intermediate Djembe and Dunun
  • Sunday - Advanced Djembe and Dunun Workshop 

Optional:
  • Please bring a recorder and maybe pen and paper. Bring a drum or rent from us.
