Wednesday 26th October 2011: MOSAIC Workshop (Video)

This was a one off workshop for young people aged 25 and under who attend MOSAIC, a centre who’s aim it is to provide drug and alcohol treatment as well as support for those young people whose parents misuse substances. The small group who attend MOSAIC voluntarily were very interested and attentive to the extent that when our time was up they didn’t want to stop and having played a little longer and giving them a chance to fit in some ‘free style’ soloing, we stayed to chat more about the West African music and culture. Some of the students seemed particularly interested in the dance which accompanies the drumming in a traditional village or on stage for performance; here are a couple of African Dance videos for any of you guys who might be interested.
