Grand Master Babara Bangoura shared not only the rhythms but also the stories and cultural significance behind each beat, offering a profound insight into the essence of West African music.
From dawn till dusk, the workshop echoed with the sounds of Djembe, resonating with the dedication and determination of each student to honor the centuries-old tradition. It served as a powerful reminder of the discipline and commitment required to truly master the art of Djembe, contrasting sharply with superficial attempts at imitation.
