Bolokada at First Pres!

I am looking forward to this. Our little club of beatniks is welcoming West African Drummer, Bolokada, to Elizabethton, August 22nd. Click the poster to enlarge and read the description below:


A DRUMMING CELEBRATION--Come hear and take a class with world known djembe drummer, Bolokada Conde, from Guinea West Africa at First Presbyterian Church in Elizabethton, TN (543-7757) on Saturday, August 22, 2009.

The drumming class is 4-5:30 p.m. and the exciting, dynamic performance with Bolokada and the Tonali Drum Group of Asheville, NC is 7-8:30. Fee for class and evening performance is $30. For the performance alone, $10.

He is an awesome performer from Guinea and visits this country during the summer (this year he is here from 8-13 to 8-23) to share in the development of drumming and raise a few funds to help build a school for his village. He is sponsored through Skinnybeats Drums in Asheville, NC. Check out Skinny Beats.




Spread the word! Hope to see you!
