Private Drum Circle at Lila Drums
(23 April 2005)

Thanks to Emma, a bunch of St. Mary's Choir members had the chance to drum with master drummer Nii Tagoe on 23 Apr 05. Nii hails from Accra, Ghana (West Africa) and is currently based in the UK. Coming from a royal family of master-drummers and dancers, he inherited from them his talent for drumming, dancing and singing.

The drum circle took place at Lila Drums in Peninsular Plaza. During the session, we sat together in a circle, each with a drum. Nii then taught us how to hit the drum to produce different types of sounds and rehearsed a few rhythms with us before we started drumming together.
