Chris Baker | Facilitator

Yani Socratous | Facilitator & Inspiration

Yani's passion was drummed into him at an early age. His father and grandfather were drummers in the Greek tradition, so with a lineage like that it was inevitable Yani would follow in their footsteps. He began playing the Greek drum at 10 and in his high school years became a drummer in a band. But it wasn't until he was in his early 20s that he graduated to the djembe - a traditional drum from West Africa. "I used to fiddle around with it until I went and listened to an African man transform it into one of the most unbelievable musical experiences of my life," Yani said. "That's when I decided to take lessons and seriously learn the instrument." Now a djembe virtuoso he shares his expertise with others.

Sal Salem  |  Facilitator & Inspiration

"...music is as old as human beings. Our ancestors, who travelled from cave to cave, couldn't carry many things, but modern archaeology shows that, as well as the little they might have with them in the way of food, there was always a musical instrument in their baggage, usually a drum."

Jean-Jacques Angenieux | Facilitator & Inspiration

Jean-Jacques has a passion for hand drumming and all African Music. He has a special connection with music from Mali where his wife Francoise comes from. He met his djembe master Mohamed Bangoura in 1999 and has studied in Guinea West Africa. "People ask me why I still go regularly to Mohamed's classes after all these years (haven't missed an Easter workshop at Glenrock near Newcastle) my answer is : not to play so much as to listen. The Africans don't hear the music the way we Westerners do and it takes a long time to train the ear to "listen the African way" and then translate that on the drum. This is my life time commitment and I’m enjoying every second of it."
