BEGINNER DJUNDUN WORKSHOPS ! The first workshop for those folks interested in starting on the djundun path is Friday evening from 6:30pm-8pm on February 25th and the second workshop is Friday evening March 4th from 6:30-8pm. These workshops are $20 each and you may attend one or both! We will learn how to hold the sticks, basic sticking technique for djuns, some exercises to develop technique, and several djundun patterns with bell. The bass drums are powerful and essential to the West African drum ensemble and learning to play and recognize the melodies of the djuns is an important part of understanding and learning West African music. Please come and experience the beauty and the power of these amazing bass drums!
