Do register by the 18th for the workshop. Or come to just the performance. It is good for the soul.John Shuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798753206614838161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-18096350550263287322010-08-13T21:17:44.959-07:002010-08-13T21:17:44.959-07:00Both using rhythms from Guinea?

The REALLY interesting thing about this is that it was a multicultural church in which the American born learned to sing (along with the drumming) in an African language!Pastor Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510081361292855641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-6527032217231466472010-08-13T11:40:09.443-07:002010-08-13T11:40:09.443-07:00Last year we had Bolokada who is from Guinea.

No big deal but I did wonder when I read the blog where Djembe's drumming style comes from in Africa. Nothing wrong with any style but wondered if it was from West Africa as are many of our members.Pastor Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510081361292855641noreply@blogger.com
