African Drumming for Community Events
African drumming is all about community and connection. The drums we play were literally created to bring people together. Whether it be a festival, a celebration, or a gathering for the goodness of it, drumming is a way to bring people together to celebrate life.
We cater for all groups. All sizes. All ages. All abilities. All reasons.
We are based on the Mid-North Coast of NSW and service the surrounding areas from Port Macquarie to Brisbane. We also regularly travel to Sydney, Melbourne, and Regional Victoria.
Interactive Drum Circles
This is our post popular and successful format for many community events, festivals, and gatherings. These are a great option for an event where people are moving through an area or space. We set up a a circle of seats and drums and invite passers by to join us. We often move into mini-workshops of 10-15min, learning rhythms and playing drum games as we go. People can interact with us as they please, they can take a setas drum with us, or enjoy our music from nearby.
All you need to provide is a suitable space, we bring the rest. Talk to Simone about what you have in mind for your event or occasion or provide us with a few details and we will get back to you with a quote.
Performances
We have a number of different options for performances and what we will recommend will depend on what you have in mind for your event. We can offer a trio of drummers playing traditional West African rhythms and arrangements, add dancers, call our community ensembles together (NSW & Victoria), be roving or stationary. Whatever you need, we can get it happening. Talk to Simone about what you need.
