Discover Senegalese percussion in an exceptional natural setting through a djembe and sabar workshop in Guéréo. This village, nestled between lagoons, mangroves, and hills, offers a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for exploring the traditional rhythms of Senegal. Away from the urban hustle, the workshop takes place in a relaxed environment where you can fully feel the power and emotion of the drums. Accessible to everyone, it is an authentic and inspiring cultural experience.
The session begins with the introduction to the instruments:
• the djembe, an iconic West African drum known for its deep and clear tones;
• the sabar, an instrument deeply rooted in Senegalese culture, played with the hand and a stick.
You will learn the basics: posture, essential sounds, striking techniques, first rhythms, and simple compositions. Learning is progressive and adapted to all levels, from complete beginners to participants already familiar with African percussion.
The workshop takes place in an open space where the surrounding nature enhances the experience: sea breeze, calm lagoon, bird songs… As the rhythms develop, the group finds a shared energy, turning the session into a moment of connection and exchange.
The end of the workshop may include a short rhythmic exercise, or a souvenir video recorded to capture a moment of this musical immersion.
