WHAT HAPPENS IN THE AFRICAN DRUMMING EXPERIENCE?
DRUMMING AND MUSICAL EXPLORATION, STORIES, CULTURE AND INSTRUMENTS FROM ALL OVER AFRICA, DANCING AND SINGING.
Drumming together is a powerful method of building children’s confidence and self-esteem because it is so much fun beating a drum, even the most disconnected child finds it hard to resist beating on a drum with friends.
We bring all the African Drums and Percussion instruments along with stories, songs, movement, dance, fun learning activities and games! EVERY child will play on their own African Djembe drum and percussion instrument and learn about the Culture, the Tribes, specific Rhythms from each Country within the African continent, the Traditional Dress, and how African instruments are made, all as much as possible within our animated storytime and demonstrations. There is lots of singing, dancing, laughing and hands on playing all the drums and unique African percussion instruments as we take them on a West African musical drumming adventure.
THE CHILDREN WILL PLAY!
