Sunday Drumming Classes with Ibrahima Camara 

April 13, 2014 thru June 1, 2014

Join us for an 8 week series of Djembe drumming classes as taught by Senegalese Artist Ibrahima Camara. Just arrived back from Senegal last week, Ibrahima is the man who brought djembe to Boston and all of New England and my first djembe teacher preparing me for a life on the djembe.

In these 2-hour sessions from 5pm - 7pm on Sunday evenings, we will learn more about the djembe and dunun drums and get into some great drum grooves. You will get technique, personal attention, solo phrasing, improvisations, breaks and a solid dose of learning African djembe with an African teacher. These are all hands-on classes so bring your djembe (or borrow one of our professional drums), and a bottle of water.

Register for the 8 week semester as soon as possible as we are limiting this class to 14 attendees. We would cancel a class only in case of bad weather. 

(If the registration doesn’t take you, we are full and you may request to be on a waiting list in case someone drops out. Please email me for the wait list at alan@drumconnection.com)

If you play djembe, this is the place to be! Make Sundays your African drumming day and add healthy rhythms and energy into your life!

Directions are displayed on your left and you can always reach me at 781-316-8068 DrumConnection. Parking is easy on Mass Ave and even easier if you read about our secret spots.
