Namory Keita Sundays at DrumConnection
Namory is a very talented drummer from Sangbaralla, Guinea where he apprenticed with his uncle, the legendary Famoudou Konaté. Namory is known for his love of his village, his respect for traditional music, and his infectious smile and joy of life. The fact that he's a fabulous djembefola, generous teacher, and gracious host only adds to his charms! I know you will feel right at home with Namory.
I've known Namory since the old days in Guinea and we've spent many times together. As with all DrumConnection instructors, I am so pleased to have him join our staff. And to be able to present such a consistently high level of instruction makes all the hard work pay off for you, the students of the drum.
If you will join us on this 6-week drumming adventure, you are sure to have the time of your life studying the 'real deal' with the young master. You will be filled with not only rhythm and history, but a joy that you will carry with you throughout the week and maybe your life!
Please bring an audio recorder and maybe a pen and paper. Bring your djembe. Dunun is optional, use one of ours!
Workshop size is limited to 15 people -- register early to make sure you get a space in the workshop!
Registration fee is $150.- (cash, check or credit card) We will send you a registration and confirmation email. Doors will open 15 minutes before class time.
