Rome was our leader for the session, and introduced us to the traditional West African music, song and dance using drums and other instruments to create rhythm with our hands, beating out fast ,slow, loud and quiet tunes, and soon we were all playing together.
The session lasted two hours with a break for a drink and then we swapped around so we could try a different instrument.
Everyone came out smiling and had had great fun and a sense of achievement was had by all. It was certainly very therapeutic even though our hands ached after beating the drums!!
Thank you to Rome for a fantastic afternoon and hope he will come again.
