Work

Talking Drums is a special project that aims to teach to local youngsters to play the ryhtm instruments. In the village of Prioro, there was used to be a tradition of finalising the summer with a drum festival, in which all the locals play drums with rhythmic insturments. In the last years, there is no one left in the village who knows how to play the drums. This workcamps aims to
bring volunteers who has a bit of music or rhythm knowledge to teach the local youngsters how to play drums. Everyday, there will be workshops of rhythm and how to make instruments from recycled materials. In the end of the camp, volunteers will play in the drum festival, toghether with the local youngsters.
