Tam Tam Mandingue – Chicago 3rd Annual Summer Heat Drum Retreat!

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, all in the context of learning Mamady’s rhythms that  he composed (there are well over 100 in total – we won’t get to them  all!). 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.
