BUMBADA! NEWS
Recently, three of our young women had the opportunity to attend the BUMBADA all-women's drumming conference just north of Baltimore, MD.
Here's what they had to say!!
Posted by Nancy Umanzor:
The drumming conference was an amazing experience for me as an individual. The intense druming really helped me improve my skills. The fact that it was all female made a difference -one did not hesitate to try out new things or mess up. The drumming gave me more confidence in my drumming skills and allowed me to explore new rhythms. The African dancing classes also hyped the place up. The mixture of drumming and dancing really does bring out a unique feeling to the enviornment. Overall I had an awsome time and can't wait for next year!
