Joliba offer various types of tuition including group workshops for schools and colleges, youth and community groups and individual development. Please contact us for details. Thank you so much for providing such a fabulous service and our students thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It is essential for students to explore music and dance beyond the classroom and you really opened their eyes.
The engagement was evident from start to finish and watching our students develop was a pleasure. The final performance was mind blowing and our students have been talking about it ever since!

David Woolley studied West African Djembe and Djuns under the guidance of Drum/Dance master Almami Kamara aka Maitre Samsou during his time in the Gambia. He also played with members of Allah Tantoo, Follocoh, Canella and African Ballet. During his visit, Almami Kamara's newest group Joliba were rehearsing to perform during the new tourist season.
This new workshop combines a drumming session with an art based workshop where the children can make masks, head wear etc. which can be worn by the children during the end of day performance or parade. We can tailor our workshops to fit into your chosen themes or activities.
