Description
Step into African drumming and dance with Bangourake at Speers Point, Lake Macquarie, 08 November!
Three workshops to choose from, African Drumming, African Dance and African Dun Dun Dance.
If you have never experienced a true master drummer or West African dance then here’s your chance, and if you have, then you know that this is not to be missed.
Did I hear you ask “What is dun dun dance”? Well get a big booming floor drum and a couple of sticks, and dance around it playing the drum. It’s fun, powerful, energetic and you’re sure to go away smiling. Drums are limited so book in quickly.
We are honoured to have West African griot and acclaimed master drummer, Mohamed Bangoura, AKA Bangourake, joining us in Nov for what is sure to be a fantastic day of African drumming and dance workshops at Speers Point Lake Macquarie.
Where and for what levels?
Central to Lake Macquarie, Speers Point offers a great location for drummers (or wanna be drummers) and dancers from Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Hunter to gather, connect and experience the power of authentic African drumming and dance. These workshops are accessible to everyone in the Newcastle region.
Bangourake always brings great energy to his classes, they are fun, uplifting, vibrant and sure to be a good workout. They will challenge you mentally and physically, but don’t stress it’s all light hearted and plain old good fun. These workshops will accommodate all levels of drummers and dancers, so don’t be shy, give it a try with the best African drum and dance teacher in the country.

About Bangourake
Bangourake is described as the man with “hands of fire” and “the lion of Matam” and is known internationally as a recognised master drummer. He grew up in a village a few hours north of Conakry, the capital of Guinea, called Bourramya-Koubya. Born into a family of Griots (keepers of the music, stories and culture), music is in Mohamed’s blood.
Mohamed began performing at the age of five, participating in traditional ceremonies. He became a member of the internationally renowned Percussion de Guineé and featured as a soloist, and was also involved in numerous other national ballet ensembles in Conakry.
As a Griot, Mohamed’s life mission is to pass on the oral histories and traditions of Guinea through music, dance and storytelling. He excels at this through his live performances and teaching with an astonishing amount of charisma, energy and lightning-fast hands.
Among numerous accolades, in 2004, Mohamed’s album, Djembe Kan, was nominated for an ARIA Award for Best World Music Album.
For further information regarding up-and-coming performances and workshops with Mohamed, visit www.bangourake.com.
