ABOUT

​​​​AfroWelsh Connection are equipped to make participation in music fun and educational for both young people and adults in our music workshops. Accessible to everyone (age 7 years upwards) and encourages 'non-musical' students to participate.

AfroWelsh Connection  ​can provide music participation workshops which involve:-

• African Drumming  - Learn about the different sounds from the drums and how to play at least two complete West African rhythms with control and rhythmic accuracy as a group.
• Singing - Learn to sing in Mandinka traditional West African griot kora songs in  unison and two part harmonies using the African call and response style to the sweet sound of the kora. (We like to combine the singing and the drumming but can do each separately if required).
• Educational  History Workshops - about the West African griots' culture and tradition - the musicians/ story tellers/ oral historians/ mediators/ entertainers and praise singers of West Africa whose craft is passed down from generation to generation.
• Kora and Meditation - helping to relieve stress and anxiety. Relax and de-stress to the beautiful soundof the kora.
