WORK IN PROGRESS
Some very nice things begin to happen!

NEVER FORGET TO TAKE A BREAK
I was working for hours on my future djembesolo online school. The topic was about sounds, all sort of sounds. At one moment I had the good idea to just play around to refresh my mind.

Can we play together?
June 2018, I was chilling in Shenzhen, he was practicing in his shop I entered and asked him to join... And that's it!

Does it work?
To my knowledge there is no binary 3 beat rhythm in djembe music. Time to try something!

Djembesolo Trio in action
This is our first video production. Recorded and Shot in Ireland/Dingle in front of the Sleeping Giant island. Inspiring!

Another Kind Of "Come Back To Africa"
I explained Zourakie Dembele I wanted to teach one of my rhythms to his team. He agreed.

He was practicing
I came in and said "Hello, can we play?"

Prototype
I am working on a design and tension system resulting of my experience with the instrument. This one is the first prototype. I played solo for a few seconds, liked it and then added some backing tracks here and there.

Nature
My 2016 Summer Workshop took place in Ardèche surrounded by nature. Some places were really inspiring and I had to capture some "Ardèche" improvisations on video. The djembe I played here is "Made in France" by Georges BUGNON.

Nice & Easy
With a kind of "nothing to prove" attitude, I just let it go the way I felt. Very nice audience!
