This workshop was held with many of the intermediate students from the Friday night drum class (at Domba Studio). It was a long weekend filled with intensive work on several new rhythms. We did Balani, Soli Rapide (including sangba and dunun variations, as well as the solo origineaux) and Dunungbe. It was hard work, good eating and a lot of fun!
