Participants learn rhythms and songs that represent the traditions of several African ethnic groups. Each participant will have an authentic, imported drum. Strong emphasis is placed on the traditional West African values of respect, community and teamwork.
Three hour-long classes are offered on each event date at 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Classes are hosted by the Surry Arts Council.
