 Drum and Dance Workshop and Performance Come enjoy this rare opportunity to study with some of Guinea's finest artists; Djessona Diabate, Mariama Bailo Diallo, Fatoumata Kouyate, Damaye Soumah, Mama Adama Soumah, Ali Sylla AMAZONES - a socio-cultural departure from tradition fired by a fervent determination to attain the level of the great djembefolas. Equally daring is their goal to ‘demystify’ the djembe, an instrument historically reserved for male players. With ‘Amazones’ all these preconceptions melt away and what is left is a powerful, energetic and grandiose spectacle, which sends to the world, its message of peace, optimism and joy.
