Sunday, December 16th

Review of the Rhythms Kudani and Kuruni
with Colleen Caffrey, Tam Tam Mandingue Professor

This class is intended only for those who attended the November workshop with Mamady in Clarkston and already have some familiarity with this material. If you missed the workshop, but want to get in on the fun and think you can hang, please give Colleen a call first. We’ll start with the djembe accompaniments and arrangement. As time allows, we hope to review the dunun parts as well. So bring em if you got em!

2:30 – 4pm Djembe for Everyone – Kono
with Amy Jackson, TTM W-S Associate Instructor

We’ll review the rhythm Mamady taught at the Friday class at Youth Villages in Douglasville, Georgia, called Kono (birds). This class is open to all DrumRise students and friends, regardless of whether you attended the Mamady Keita workshop! We’ll make this fun rhythm accessible to all levels and will get the music and energy jamming. Then, we wrap up the day with our year-end party!
