Description
The Lebeha Drummers
will be hosting a 2 hour drumming workshop
then performing a 1 hour concert
(Attend both events or either event individually)
The workshop and concert will be presented by five young men known as the Lebeha Drummers. They're from Hopkins Village on the beautiful shores of the Caribbean Ocean in Belize, Central America. They play the traditional music of the Garifuna culture: a mixture of African and South American Indian influences.
The Lebeha Drummers are the Garifuna champion group for two year running in Belize, Honduras and Guatemala. They are in Canada as a part of an educational exchange program and are excited to perform and teach their music and culture.
The workshop is multi level. Bring your favourite hand drum (djembés, congas, etc) as Garifuna drums are scarce in Vancouver. This is obviously "the real deal". Its a chance to have fun and learn something new.
