Seckou Keita Winter Workshop

14 - 28 January 2018

CITY BOOM BOOM is truly honoured to once again work with the incredible artist and musician – SECKOU KEITA. Despite his extremely busy schedule, Seckou has taken time out to be with City Boom Boom in January 2018. No one has ever been disappointed with Seckou's workshops; his warm and fun-loving personality together with his highly professional teaching practice, make him one of the most sought-after djembe instructors today.

What makes these workshops so special? Due to Seckou's busy performance schedule, he has had to limit the amount of time he can dedicate to djembe workshops. And so this really is a unique opportunity to improve your djembe skills under the guidance of a true master! In addition to Seckou's workshops, we will also be offering workshops in sabar and bougarabou drumming as well as traditional Senegalese dance including sabar, regional dance and traditional Guinean dance. These workshops never disappoint; two weeks in the beautiful seaside fishing village of Abene where you are guaranteed a warm and musical welcome, a place where you can completely switch off and relax, and where you'll find yourself reassessing what's really important in life ♥ Year after year people keep coming back for more and this year we have an even more exciting two weeks in store for you.

SECKOU KEITA – BIOGRAPHY Seckou was born in Zinguinchor, Senegal. Through his father he is a descendant of the Malian Keita family of kings and his mother’s family, the Cissokhos, are a griot family (hereditary musicians). He launched his international career in 1996 under the guidance of his uncle Solo Cissokho. In the years that followed, Seckou relocated to the United kingdom, while touring regularly all around the world. He joined the popular world music group Baka Beyond as a drummer in 1998, contributing to their well-received East To West album and in 2000 began to record his own solo debut Baiyo (retitled Mali for a later release through ARC Music), which encompassed his musical journey to date, from Africa to Europe, via India. Seckou also contributed to Salif Keita and Youssou N’Dour UK tours. Also a renowned drummer, Seckou travels around the world giving concerts and workshops, and has collaborated with Mamady Keita on his live album. Seckou also supports environmental projects in the United Kingdom and Africa.

Delavnica afriškega plesa in bobnanja 25.-26.11.2017

V Ljubljani bomo zopet gostili dva umetnika iz Burkine Faso. V pleseni korak nas bo popeljala
Mamadeni Coulibaly, skrivnosti afriškega ritma pa bo z nami delil mojster in griot Seydou Dao.

in sicer 25. in 26. novembra 2017, v prostorih Plesnega Studia XXV na Parmovi 25 v Ljubljani.

Oba tečaja sta namenjena tako začetnikom, kot tudi naprednejšim plesalcem in bobnarjem,
vendar je za bobnarsko delavnico zaželjeno, da ima tečajnik predhodno že nekaj izkušenj.

MAMADENI COULIBALY (Burkina Faso) poučuje in deluje v Milanu. Na povabilo Zavoda 

Ritem Afrike nas bo na delavnicah naučila tradicionalnih afriških plesnih korakov, značilnih za 

Burkino Faso ob spremljavi bobnarjev v živo, kar plesni izkušnji prida poseben pečat, saj gre 

v Afriki komunikacija bobnar – plesalka/- ec z roko v roki.

SEYDOU DAO (Burkina Faso) je izjemen pedagog in učitelj afriškega bobnanja. V Ljubljani 

smo ga že večkrat gostili. Svoje znanje kot griot, pripovedovalec zgodb, pesmi ter glasbe, 

predaja svojim učencem in učenkam na zelo zabaven in hkrati strokoven način. Svoje 

bobnarsko izročilo v Evropi podaja že vrsto let, trenutno živeč v Milanu poučuje v Gorici, 

Trstu občasno pa tudi v Ljubljani.
