A huge thank you from
Tanante and Drumroots to all involved in organising the
Hexham abbey festival of music and arts last week, we had a fantastic time at the Abbey in Northumberland. We really loved the
African drumming workshop for the local school children in the Afternoon, it had a fun vibe and we were particularly impressed with all the talented young people from Hexham! As for the evening concert, Tanante hugely enjoyed performing with our guest artists;
Iya Sako,
Sidiki Dembele,
Sens Sagna,
Jokeh Silla and
Babba Galle Kante in such an awesome sounding and looking building, it really was pleasure to play in, and a truly amazing experience.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience the power of West African drumming from within one of the country’s most sacred and resonant spaces?
Well, on 26th September Tanante will be connecting music from the tribal communities of West Africa with the awesome acoustics of one of the North East’s most spectacular landmarks; Hexham Abbey.
