All,
Our Drum & Dance Practicum last September was amazing! We created a
phenomenal performance in just 2 days of rehearsals! This year we are
taking our success from last year and making it even better.

Camp Camaraya is September 25-28, 2008 at Camp Coleman, approximately
1.5 hours north of Atlanta. The purpose of the event is to bring
together passionate students of West African drum and dance of all
levels and create a public performance to be offered in downtown
Atlanta on Sunday, September 28.

This event is for you if you have always wanted to perform, if you
already perform in a group and want some new pieces, if want to learn
more (and if you are too shy, you don't have to perform!), if you
want to learn directly from some of the best artists from Guinea,
West Africa, if you want to have a fun, intense experience for 3.5
days and the gratification of creating an incredible event.

Artists:
Dance Drum
Youssouf Koumbassa Aly Camara
Mamady Sano Fode Bangoura
Marietou Cisse Ismael Bangoura
Ibrahima Kolipe Camara
