Practicing my drumming skills on our roof in Mali (Photo: Emily O'Dell)
Having studied West African dance and drumming in Mali myself, I’m so excited for the traditional dances of the Mandeng region of West Africa to be taught here in Beirut–with live percussion provided by Jebebara Unity Drum. So if you’re in Beirut, sign up now for this energetic and educational workshop–before it fills up. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend–since I’ll be off drumming in the desert in Africa (more on that soon)…
