Bana Kuma Retreat – African Drum, Dance and Music

With Chris Berry

We at Talkin’ the Drum are inviting you to a unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of African music in a relaxed, focussed and spirited setting. Over 4 days and a series of workshops Master musician Chris Berry will devote himself to extending your understanding and ability to play African rhythm. He will also facilitate high energy dance workshops and have us singing like an African village. Chris will take us to deeper layers of African music, opening up the possibility for healing and spiritual awareness.

The camp’s focus will be the learning of a Bana Kuma, the main purpose of which is to cleanse and clear blockages and thereby help people re-align with their greater selves. The music and dance of the Bana Kuma is based on ancient techniques, held in high regard as powerful healing modalities.

Come and learn the rhythms, dances, songs and stories of the four elements Earth, Water, Fire and Air. Each of the elements is represented in rhythm and so you will learn a series of up to 4 distinct rhythms, each with its own hand drum parts, doundoun parts, breaks, solo phrases, dance movements and songs.
