Mysteries presents:

WASSA KUNBA!
The Famoudou Konate Mini–Camp - Boston 2008!

June 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8, 2008
Wednesday – Sunday
(location TBA, Boston Area)

ALL LEVELS – Beyond Beginner to Professionals and Teachers

This 5 Day Workshop is a total immersion with one of the greatest djembe
players/historians/teachers in the world today. ALL djembe players owe much of
their
information and playing skills to Famoudou Konate.

The workshops will sell out. Please take this opportunity to consider a 'trip to
Africa'
WITHOUT the airplane fare. Come to the BOSTON area!

We hope you'll be able to join us and experience how great these workshops are.
You
will learn it ALL and come away a vastly improved player. You will learn all the
djembe
lines, traditional solos, full arrangements that Famoudou has made famous AND
all of
the dunun (bass drum and bell) patterns that make the COMPLETE RHYTHM. Famoudou
will also teach you the songs and the meaning of the words as well as the
melodies and
variations. You will come away with enough material to keep you busy for a long,
long
time. And Famoudou's spirit is infectious. Healings take place! We'll dance and
sing and
have many moments of sheer JOY!

Five days with Famoudou Konate IS like a trip to Guinea and is a rare and unique
experience. NOTE: We have strict limits on registrations so no special
exceptions can me
made. Register early to avoid disappointment. We had to turn away away dozens of
people last year and the year before that to have the quality instruction that
Famoudou
wishes to give.
