Djembe Ensemble


 


 

The OCC African Percussion Ensemble has been a part of the OCC music experience since 2001.  The group plays on an Ewe set of drums from Ghana as well as djembes, gyils, and most recently riqs.  We have studied "Gahu" with David Etse Nyadedzor.  We learned “Kpanlogo” and "Gota" with Bernard Woma.  And, in the spring of 2008 we also had the privilege of working with Valerie Naranjo.  We continue to do some impromptu stuff with djembes as well!  For more information stop by my office, e-mail me, or call me.
