About the event
This will be an immersion in learning djembe rhythms taught by the late great Grand Master Drummer Mamady Keita. All classes will be taught by the Director of the TTMDA-Chicago branch of TTMDA, Senior Certified Instructor, M. Taylor. Almost all the classes will be mixed level, as djembe music works well with beginners and advanced folks in the same room, as most rhythms have aspects that can challenge both at once.
Some of the stuff we’ll cover: basic rhythms, soloing, echauffments, dunun variations, some songs, Level System breaks, dununba rhythms, maybe even some Zaouli – I welcome requests – please send those along with your registration!
Folks are welcome to bring their own libations! Handicap facilities are available; specify dietary needs by sending an email with the subject line “Summer Heat Dietary Request” to sunnrising1@gmail.com
