Tribe of Doris - Part 2

4:19 PM - Tue 26 August 2008

Posted in Out and About
I'm so sorry but I didn't take a single photograph!

It was a wonderful and busy week - there's a big choice of workshops every day culminating in a performance on the last evening to the rest of the camp.

I participated in the advanced intermediate Djembe with Mokoulou Swane who's a strict but very good teacher. The rhythm we learnt was tricky and I thought I'd never get the hang of it as there was so much to remember, but we got there in the end.

The other workshop was my usual sabar drumming with Modou Diouf which was fantastic as ever.

Apart from that, I dropped into several workshops as an observer including baka song. I also sang two songs at the Doris open mic - it didn't go very well but hey - you can't win them all and it stops me getting too cocky ha ha!

The weather was erratic with quite bad wind and rain at times but I was snug in the Moon Palace.

The closing ceremony was wonderful with performances from the complete beginner drummers and some hand bell ringers.

I can't begin to describe what a wonderful week I've had musically, creatively and personally........................ lovely!

Watch this space.

PS:

I did take a few pics after all!

Ah, a week that has a very deep personal impact. Always an experience you will look fond back at it.

The campfire looks cozy and fun. Pity i couldn't hear you all sing cumbaya around it. :-)

Yes, it's too bad you don't have any video, but I'm glad you had a great time!

Every time you talk about drumming, it makes me want to get up and dance, Chandra! We have a live drumming improv show on Saturday and I thought about you and how awesome it would be if you were there to play.

You had a great time, and that's what counts. We don't need photographic proof of it. We've been friends for a while, so I'll take your word for it.

The campfire does look nice, Let me stand next to your fire!
