Hello all,
Just back from a long weekend in Oslo, where a student of Sidiki Camara had organised a weekend-workshop for interested djembe-students. I knew the man allready from workshops in Holland, organised by djembé-dramé in the summer.
I regret not to spread the word before this took place, because we could have been with some more. About 9 students were there, and in 12 hours Sidiki taught us 3 rhythms, lots of solo-phrases and all in the beautifull Mali-style. Everybody enjoyed it very much, and I would like to recommend Sidiki as a very patient, capable teacher. And in my eyes he is one of the geatest djembefolaw. Aside from playing and teaching, he can answer almost every question about rhythms, origins of them, the real Malian tradition and other Malian music. I am thinking of joining his trip to Mali in january. Next weekend he will be teaching in Belgium, see the website Coryphee.be
