West African Drumming, Song and Dance

Community groups

Take your community group to the heart of West Africa, and spend a day in the inspiring company of our master musicians, dancers – and chefs! Whatever age or musical ability, there will be something to see, something to learn, and something to talk about. Try your hand at mask-making, drumming, traditional singing, making simple batik images, or learning about West African cuisine. Alternatively, you can simply sit back and enjoy a unique GRIOT* EXPERIENCE, while a traditional Kora (West African Harp) player pours his heart into his music. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions and answers.

* GRIOT = a hereditary caste of musicians; guardians of oral history, tradition, and culture.
