This inclusive workshop brings people together from different communities through drumming to learn about West African culture and tradition. Work on the Djembé using different techniques and rhythms.

Artist Amadou Kienou will bring the Djembé to teach everyone how to drum and journey through the Djembé’s vocabulary. The Djembe is not only a musical instrument, it is a form of communication, used to send messages from Village to Village, city to city, and country to country. The Djembé is a universal instrument that brings people together.
