Jabba Jabba Jembe!!

A selection of drums used in our workshops


















Thursday we had a drumming workshop with JabbaJabbaJembe. It was really good.

We started by learning the two basic sounds, each drums bass and tenor.
Then he thought us some tribal songs. The man who ran it actually lived in Africa for 2 years learning how to play these drums by the natives.

 He also showed us that Africa is more than it's stereo typical poor land, its a country full of culture.
