In addition to serving as a principal drummer for Sankofa Kuumba CAC, Assegai is available to schools as a solo artist. Through rhythm, song, and audience participation, he demonstrates to students the various instruments of the Mandeng Djembe Orchestra from Guinea, West Africa. In this amazing workshop, youth will learn to make small, hand-held drums from items that they can find right in their own homes, such as boxes, balloons and tumblers. The authentic drums used to facilitate this workshop will be those of the Djembe orchestra, indigenous to Guinea, West Africa.
Residencies are available.
