hello from the Southeast!
Maybe you would like to come to Freiburg for the next djembé and dundun party ("Trommel- und Tanzfest") the 5th of March. Maninka music from 7 p.m. to at least midnight:
http://hamana.de/termine.html and
http://hamana.de/spezial-workshops.html (english version at the bottom).
You can answer me in an email, if you want:
danielfpk@web.deI suppose you know that Billy Konaté lives between Speyer and Ludwigshafen.
I think it's too early to speek of whole circles of drummers. This is what we have to work on: e.g. me with the party in Freibur (twice a year), others with the drumming party in Rastatt (Rastatter Trommelfest) and so on, and you in your surroundings.
Greetings from Freiburg,
Daniel Preissler Konaté
