Revisiting Drumming for Peace, Joy, and Unity!

January 8, 2021 By

Eleven Atlanta West African Drum/Dance/Sekere ensembles along with families and friends came together to play the music from the Mandingue of West Africa! Each ensemble chose a rhythm to start/end and all joined in. You could hear the rhythms of Kuku! Sinte! Djole! Sunun! Djansa! Mendiani! And much more!! So much energy! So much Joy!

It started in the fall of 2017 and was so successful it has became an annual event! 2020 was cancelled due to the virus. We are hoping Fall of 2021! Happy New Year!
