University Concert Hall’s Participation & Learning Programme: Africa Day Project

For the past number of years John and the Tribal Spirit team have worked with UCH to lead and deliver the largest teen drumming event in the country in celebration of Africa Day. Each May up to 120 young people from Limerick secondary schools take part in a series of preparation workshops learning powerful African rhythms and songs. On the day itself they are brought together in a fantastic spirit of collaboration and celebration to create a gigantic drumming sound. Check out the photos and video on the media page.
