4 Week Series begins Sunday 9th August
Connect with rhythm & community through the rich traditions of West African drumming in a drum series led by Guinean master musician Mohamed Camara:
This weekly series invites participants to connect with the rich rhythms and traditions of West African drumming. Through hands-on instruction, you'll explore foundational techniques, dynamic rhythms, ensemble playing, and the powerful energy of Guinean music. Whether you're new to drumming or have previous experience, this engaging session offers a joyful and immersive experience in the musical heritage of Guinea.
Mohamed Camara is a master musician, a highly sought-after performer and Guinean music educator based in Melbourne. He was born into the Manding culture in Guinea Conakry, West Africa, whose rich and vibrant musical tradition has been a life-long passion. As a child he was apprenticed to internationally renowned Guinean master drummer Ton Ton Sylla, where he studied djembe, dun duns, and song.
“These classes are an absolute priority and my life line. We have such a wonderful group and we love Mohamed’s stories that accompany his instructions and it’s just so much fun. Thank you, thank you and thank you again for offering these classes.”
Drum class participants are also invited to arrive earlier, and warm up with some simple drum accompaniments guided by Mohamed for our dance class, which starts 2pm-3.15pm. The more drums the better!
