 Participants are guided through Guinea to the heart of Malinke drumming.There they experience African village life, drum and dance classes, traditional rituals and festivals, and then return home with an expanded world view and memories they will treasure forever.Spending part of his time in Guinea, and part at his home in Three Rivers, Central California, Kourouma continues to work with Konate and Keita, teach classes and clinics, build drums, and perform with his ensemble Annye Ben, locally and throughout the world.
