Description

Come learn the language of the Djembe in a relaxed, creative, and supportive environment. We practice safe distancing and we mask up! Djembe class is much more than what it seems. It’s more like a family, even if you are taking only one 6 week class. Class is made up of people from all walks of life who have a desire to learn in a friendly, supportive, and non judgmental environment. Students learn the rhythms from Guinea, West Africa and it’s surrounding countries. John has been a student of Grand Master, Mamady Keita. Mamady Keïta is a grand master of the djembe and one of the world’s most well-known and respected djembefolas. (Djembefola is the Malinké word for “djembe player”. It literally means “one who plays the djembe.”) John’s djembe class is a direct reflection of the teachings and spirit of the djembe as taught by Mamady Keita
