Little about me..... by TNT on Wed Mar 21, 2012 3:09 pm
Hello from So California, USA
I’ve played drum set off and mainly on for 48 yrs since age 5 in bands all across the USA, mainly Los Angeles and Hollywood, CA in all kinds of music. I took lessons from an old woman named Kay Carlson in LA who hung with the oldies but goodies like Buddy Rich. I stopped again at age 45, started couple months ago inspired by father and son acoustic guitar players around a off road group camp fire, picked up the Djembe and some percussion rack instruments. I picked it right back up fast playing my first camp fire gig few weeks ago with the guitar player’s and some others that joined in to make this band shown. Noticed Djembe had some nice bass tones so I used it like a drum kit making bass and snare rhythms for the rock songs we did, and I did a drum solo they loved, crowd of about 25.
1 year since I joined by davidognomo on Wed Dec 28, 2011 11:52 pm
I've never made a blog entry.
It has past a year since I joined. I started taking classes more or less at the same time. Took also two workshops (2 days each, though), with Baba Touré and Fode Bangoura.
I directed a play this November where I played djembe with 2 colleages of mine (on the dunduns that I managed to buy). Starting on the 2nd phase of that project this January, premiere the 23th February, on a major theatre here in Lisbon. Shakespeare and west african percussion...
All that I can and want to say is that this site, and mainly this forum, has made me grow a lot. Getting to know artists that I didn't, new rhythms, staying in touch with the feeling and the passion when classes stopped. The cultural and knowledge exchange, the shared passion and ingenuity.
Thank you all.
A Year in the Life of a Djembe Addict by EvanP on Fri Dec 23, 2011 5:50 pm
I'm Evan and I'm a djembe addict. It's been a little over a year since I not only learned what a djembe is, but how to spell it, how to play it (sometimes/mostly), at least names/locations of 25% of the countries in Africa, and about 2% of their culture. In January I had the opportunity to attend a Mamady Keita workshop. Although I didn't meet the minimum requirement of 1 year of experience, my teacher requested an exception for me and Ali/Mamady approved. All of the superlatives are trite and overused, but it blew my mind. I learned so much, not just about drumming and rhythms, but about pedagogy. Mamady is the best teacher of anything I've ever had. He was able, in a class of 40-50 people, to connect individually with each of us, offering encouragement and pushing to our limits (but not beyond). An added bonus was an amazing party after the second class at a local Cuban musician's house for a rumba. The energy and music was fantastic, and it was great seeing Mamady play conga...

Epizo's camp 2011 by michi on Wed Oct 12, 2011 3:18 am
I attended last week's camp with Epizo Bangoura at Bent's Basin. This was the first (and probably only) time the camp was held there. Normally, it happens at the Bundagen eco community near Coffs Harbour, but that venue wasn't available this year. Bent's Basin is a state conservation area with a large park, camp sites, and an education centre (basically a large hall) where we did our drumming and dancing. Because Bent's Basin is twelve hour's drive from Brisbane, I wasn't planning to attend—too far to drive and, because of the camping-only accommodation, pretty much impossible to do by flying. Fortunately, Matt, a drumming mate of mine, rang a few days before the camp and offered to pick me up from Sydney airport and let me sleep in his van, so I decided to attend on short notice. The camp ran from Monday to Thursday. Only four days this time instead of the usual seven, mostly due to the change of venue. (Quite a number of people had already bought tickets to the Bellingen Carnival, w... [ Continued ]
