Grooves & Brews Recap

WELL…. what an amazing turnout this afternoon for our end of summer party! Thank you to all who could attend. The students have been working hard on their material and it showed today with some really terrific (and rocking!) individual performances. There were quite a few students that came out to enjoy the afternoon and support their peers and that was also great to see.

In addition, we had a powerful djembe performance from our djembe teacher, Paco Samb, who gave us a preview of what the studio’s monthly djembe sessions are.

Finally, we had the debut performance of Ten N’ a Half, led by grooveKSQ student Evan R.

Thank you to Blondes and Brewnettes Brewing Co. for working with us on this event.

Our Fall programming announcements will be following soon!

Djembe Class February 19th with Paco!

On Monday, February 19th at 7:00pm, join Senegalese master drummer Pape “Paco” Dembe Samb for a one hour group djembe drumming experience at grooveKSQ. People of all ages and ability levels are welcome. This is a terrific opportunity to experience percussion in one of its most powerful and meditative forms. Seats are $25 per person.

If you do not have an instrument, you will be able to rent one for $10 at the event.

Djembe Master Class Recap

One of the truly rewarding things about the studio is creating experiences that connect people who would otherwise never would have met. This is often what happens at our djembe master classes, which are hosted at grooveKSQ and facilitated by djembe master Pape Demba Samb.

Also, these events are FUN! Consider the exchange at the beginning of the video:

Pape: When I see Ed solo, he laughs.....why?

Ed: Because it's fun!

Exactly.

The djembe classes are a monthly occurrence, if you want to stay in the loop, text GROOVEKSQ to 66866 on your smartphone to join our email list.
