Alan Tauber - Drumconnection

New England’s Premier Hand Drumming School serving the rhythmic community for over 20 years. DrumConnection offers excellence in djembe and dunun instruction from private classes to exciting workshops and performances. Drums are likely the oldest form of musical instrument known to mankind. So old in fact, that researchers from the National Academy of Science suggested that drumming is part-and-parcel to our species- other primates also drum on objects to communicate. Drumming might very well be something we as human beings have evolved to do. DrumConnection (Boston, MA) links students with a very specific part of our human heritage- the djembe drum music of Guinea, Mali, and more. Guinea is just a small nation on the west coast of Africa yet it looms large on the world stage. DrumConnection offers a unique experience into the rhythms of the continent. Our close ties to Guinea, West Africa and in association with Famoudou Konate, Mamady Keita and Mamady ‘Wadaba’ Kourouma, Sayon Camara, Monette Marino, Babara Bangoura and Nansady Keita we bring you a rich heritage from the Homeland, the birthplace of the drums.
