About African djembe drumming
African drumming
is an evocative and provocative way to experience the power of rhythm.
African drumming makes people dance! African rhythms feel great to
play. Rhythms are played with a number of drummers, each drummer
playing a different part to create a complete rhythm. The parts
can be very simple or complex and interlock with each other and the tension created between these parts
is what gives the music its quality. African djembe drums are the most popular
tribal drums worldwide.

In  Term 3, 2009, InRhythm students have lapped up the funky rhythms of Kuku - a rhythm from Guinea that stems from a circle dance for women returning from fishing. All students performing have taken part in an InRhythm 6- or 8-week community course. RiddimFest is their time to shine!! Come along to support these fantastic drummers and join in our facilitated open jam. RiddimFest is the biggest drum gathering by hand drummers in Australia.
