African Drum Making Workshops for Community Centres
Participants create their own African drum (Congo, Batá/Bembe or Djembe drum) and learn the basics of African drumming in a fun atmosphere.
Drum shells are from Africa and, with Tunde’s instructions, are relatively easy to make. The creation of the drum starts at the preparation of the shell and skin, then working trough the roping, tightening and decorative finishes.
Once the drums are ready, participants learn to play the wonderful beats of traditional African music with Tunde.
The community workshops involve 3 sessions for up to 30 participants - Drum Making, Tuning & Decorating and Playing.
They are an excellent choice for:
- Chill-out sessions for youth
- Exposure to the African culture and to African music
- Holiday programs
Prices are indicative. The final price depends on the venue capacity. We will contact you once we receive your order to discuss.
