Sunday, 17 August 2008 |
Master drummer, Amara Camara, will be teaching drum lessons on Sunday afternoons from 2:30-3:30 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Columbia. The cost is $10 per class, $8 for students. Beautiful West African drums are provided. The drum classes/drum circle are so much fun! You do not have to commit to a certain number of classes - just let us know if you are coming so we can have a drum there for you.
Those who want to observe class are welcome.
In addition, West African dance classes will be taught from 4-5:30 pm. Dancers will be accompanied by traditional West African drumming. The classes are geared for all levels to grasp and understand. The cost is $10 per class, $8 for students. Experience the rich culture of West Africa in dance and drum!
If you have questions about any of the classes, please contact Toni Jones at 260-6486 or by email at

.
The money from the classes will be used to buy rice for the people of the Ratoma neighborhood in Conakry, Guinea, West Africa. The people of Guinea have a vibrant artistic culture that they enjoy sharing with others. Unfortunately, Guinea is one of the poorest countries in Africa, where people live on less than $1 per day. With the worldwide rise in fuel prices, many Guinea families now eat only every other day.
Come to drum class today and be energized by this beautiful musical tradition while helping our brothers and sisters in West Africa.
