Join Afro-Brazilian drumming specialist Laszlo Palko for a series of workshops introducing the fun of Samba and Djembe Drumming.
Following the success and popularity of the Beat That! project last year we are delighted that Laszlo Palko will be returning for an extended series of workshops, this time leading to a performance in Buxton's famous Octagon Theatre as part of the Dark Peak Spring Concert.
Traditional African and Brazilian Drumming
The workshops will involve learning to play traditional Afro-Brazilian rhythms on authentic Brazilian and African instruments.
African and Brazilian drumming is a lively, energetic and exhilarating experience and a great introduction to the fun of playing percussion.
