Robin will be giving two workshops, in much the same format as last time:
Latin Rhythms Workshop II
Taking up where  Latin Rhythms left off, this will be a dynamic workshop focused on  exploring the folkloric rhythms of Cuba.  You will learn the techniques  of conga drumming (on your djembe, or bring a conga drum), and popular  rhythms such as marcha, bomba, columbia, and guanguanco.  A review of  samba rhythms covered last time will also be presented.  No previous  experience with latin rhythms necessary, some drumming experience  recommended.  
Funk Grooves and Solo phrases 
Learn  some funky grooves that can be played with other drummers or at a jam.   Learn about improvising together to create your own grooves and how to  solo.  Robin will share a variety of two or three part grooves for  Djembe that are great for jamming.  Several solo phrases will be taught  to start building up a vocabulary on the drum.  Gain confidence and  improvise together with guidance to co-create a groove.   All drummers  welcome! 
Date for these workshops will be October 23rd. Time, venue and cost TBA. Keep checking back here for more info in the weeks to come.
