"I came to this retreat with only a few weeks of drumming experience and shy to play in front of anyone but left three days later completely comfortable playing djembe. The morning to late night classes had us engaged all day. This is a great community of people all together for the common magic of music and dancing."

"You have no ideas how this week-end inspired me. It was so nice to meet all these icons of the Guinea music and dance. I was really touch when, on the Sunday 11h am get together you introduce all the teachers and sharing with us a little bit of their stories. We all know how much work it is to organize something like this, and I want to make sure you understand that I appreciated every second of it. It’s one of the most beautiful experience I ever lived. A big thank you to you and all the members of your team who worked to make this wonderful event.Can’t wait for next year! Keep up the good work!"
