ALPHA TEAM OF TALKING DRUMS

Talking Drums is a special project that aims to teach to local youngsters to play the ryhtm instruments. In the village of Prioro, there was used to be a tradition of finalising the summer with a drum festival, in which all the locals play drums with rhythmic insturments. In the last years, there is no one left in the village who knows how to play the drums. This workcamps aims to bring volunteers who has a bit of music or rhythm knowledge to teach the local youngsters how to play drums. Together with the adult volunteers, there will be an international teenage group composed of 6 volunteers.Everyday, there will be workshops of rhythm and how to make instruments from recycled materials. In the end of the camp, volunteers will play in the drum festival, toghether with the local youngsters.The task of the volunteers will be organising the workshops together with the minor volunteers and team leaders and showing the essentials of the rhythm to the locals. Minor volunteers won t have knowledge of rythm so adult volunteers have to take over the guidance.On the last days of the project, the group will be playing in the local festivals of the town together with the locals.
