Ibou Bás teaching is based on a mixture of rhythms of the Djembe and Haitian Voodoo. The created sound will offer a musical experience to the participants that may head for a kind of blues or to ritual rhythms. Complementarily Senegalesian and Haitian songs will be offered. Ibou Bá will explain the background of the instruments and the philosophy and spirituality of the music.
Ibou Bá has been succeeding repeatedly in motivating children and grown-ups not only due to his professional and pedagogical capabilities but as much to his guiding principle: "We do not only play with our hands but with all our senses and especially with our heart“.
Open to everybody!
