Community Drum Circle

Event Description

Join us for a Community Drum Circle, an interactive and energizing drumming experience featuring West African djembe and dundun drums.

The word djembe originates from the phrase “everyone gather together in peace,” reflecting the inclusive and communal spirit of this practice. Participants will learn the basics of djembe drumming and collaborate to create a shared rhythm, celebrating music as a tool for connection, culture, and community.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced drummers alike, no prior musical experience is necessary. Come ready to learn, play, and join in a global rhythm of celebration.
