Worldwide Drum Circle for Peace and Unity - South Africa, Wilderness

In the first video you'll see the kickoff to our monthly drum circle on 26 Sept at Faery Knowe Backpackers, Wilderness.

Our drum circle also formed part of a 24-hour worldwide drumming event where there was an hourly drum circle somewhere in the world to promote peace and unity.

At the end of the night, the woods were bursting with the sound of 60-70 drums, fire dancing and LED hoola hooping. What a breathtaking experience!

2015 Annual Strawberry Festival Opening Night

 On 25 September I had the amazing honour of opening the 2015 Annual Strawberry Festival. What a great kickoff to a great event! Everybody loved the drumming and enjoyed it with us.

Thank you very much to my friend and fellow drummer, Stephan, for joining me on stage.

Djembe Drum Paradise opened the stage for comedian and drummer, Gino Fabbri.

What a great gig!

Drumming goes great with all forms of dancing, of course, but combine drumming and belly dancing, and you have magic!

I recently performed with the Fariha Belly Dancing Studio in George at their annual show. Thank you, Levona, for this experience.

Some of the highlights of the show:
