From the workshop facilitator Negus Medhin:
“Drumming is an integral part of African culture and has been used for centuries to communicate messages, celebrate special occasions, and accompany dances and other rituals. It encompasses a wide range of styles and rhythms, each with its unique history and significance. African drumming has been found to have numerous health benefits including reducing stress, boosting the immune system, improving focus and concentration, enhancing coordination, providing a sense of community, increasing physical activity, and providing a creative outlet. Overall, African drumming can have a positive impact both physically and mentally, making it a great activity for people of all ages and abilities.”
