Despite being a little tired from the previous night's B&J event a good sized group of eager students climbed the mountain last Saturday to learn from master drummer; Pape M'Baye.

Pape's intensive instruction in a rhythm from Guinea was well received and was great fun to perform. It was also great fun to watch Pape's crew of drumers accompany us on the djembe and dun duns. In fact, at one point they were so entertaining that we forgot to drum ourselves.

Pape's worskshops are great fun and I would advise anyone who is interested to take part should they have the chance.
