I learned to play drums in West Africa

Join me on a journey through The Gambia as I learn to play traditional West African drums! In this video, I explore the rich musical culture in The Gambia, starting with my first djembe lesson on the beach. With the guidance of Musa, a master drum maker, I dive into the fascinating process of crafting drums by hand. I recorded all of the music for my River Gambia series on the djembe, in this video you'll find out how! WANT TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE LIKE THIS? I'm creating unique, adventure focused group/solo trips like this one. If you're interested, get in touch! Email: willhuntfortravel@gmail.com PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING...
