Afro-Colombian Drumming Workshop

The fishing village of La Boquilla has worked to preserve its rich Afro-Caribbean ancestral traditions, where drums play a leading role. During this drumming workshop, the team of Batambora Drum Workshop School invites you to live an extraordinary experience—first a little theory, then you connect with the typical rhythms of Afro Colombian folk music such as Cumbia, Mapalé and Champeta through immersion by playing the traditional drums. Batambora is a project led by a group of young people from the Afro-descendant community of La Boquilla, who are committed to human and economic development that is aimed at rescuing and preserving the cultural traditions of the local African heritage. Play it even if you don´t play, dance even if you don´t dance, sing even if you don´t sing. It is a wonderful opportunity to support young people who are making a difference, while having fun!
