afro dumming experience
If you've ever wanted to feel the literal pulse of the African Culture; this is where the beats get loud, the vibes get contagious, and everybody becomes part of one rhythm - NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. Have the African percussion broken down so you can learn the basics, the history, and the call-and-response flow that brings the African people together. Happening all 3 days of Afrofestival Ottawa, open to all ages, and yeah… we’ve got the drums. Just pull up with good energy. Wanna be part of the squad? [Register Now]
