West African Drumming in Cambridge

If you have ever watched frantic dancers, leaping wildly to the polyrhythmic patterns of a Gambian drum and dance troupe and fancied trying your hand at playing the djembe yourself, here’s the perfect opportunity.

Ali Baba Bangoura will be running a West African Drumming workshop on Saturday 6th March, 2010 at Alex Wood Hall, Norfolk Terrace, Cambridge.

Visiting Cambridge for one day only! Ali Baba, formerly of Les Ballets Africaines, is now musical director for Brighton based, Batafon Arts. He has many years experience working with adults and children, in workshops, schools and at festivals.
