Educational institutions
In ancient times the African drum was used as an instrument to help with education. To invite people from other Tribes further away, the very loud beat of the African drum was used to call them to functions like weddings, initiations, burials and other festivities.
Even today the African drum still forms a large part of the African culture and way of life. It still is the most prominent instrument that features in all their music.
In Africa everyone physically participates, not necessarily so in Europe. Every person present is very much part of the whole ethnic ceremony and actually takes part in some form, may that be singing, dancing, clapping or just stamping their feet. Through all of this an atmosphere of togetherness is created which in return energises the rhythm and stimulates their life.
Together let us build this musical bridge between Africa and Europe.
We train with groups of up to 50 children and teenagers in special drum circles.
By drumming together like this, they will feel the pulse and energy of Africa.
Included with this experience we share with them the history of the origination, formation and construction of this pulsating drum. Each participant receives a drum and under our guidance learns to drum the African way.
African Drum Events offers the following programs:
- Initiating ceremonies
- Workshops and projects
- School concerts
- Summer parties
- Christmas parties
- Birthday parties
- Graduation parties
- Team building
The participants will leave the workshop relaxed, motivated and filled with new enthusiasm.
They will feel a great achievement in having worked together as a team.
Independently African DrumEvents supports “Shibbakh Project e.V.” a help organisation based in Hamburg that campaigns for improving the life situation in the war torn Southern Sudan.
