Monthly African Drumming Circles

West African Djembe Drum Circle in Walthamstow​​

 

Join us monthly on Mondays from January to June 2026 at 7.30pm for an evening filled with rhythm, music, and community. Bring your own djembe drum or hire one of ours - all skill levels are welcome!

Led by Seneke Sillah, a master drummer from The Gambia, you’ll be guided through traditional West African rhythms in a fun and accessible way. Learn

call-and-response patterns and djembe accompaniments step by step with Seneke’s expert instruction. (You can read more about Seneke’s background here.)

We have a limited number of free tickets for local residents on low incomes. Contact the organiser for your PROMO code to access your free ticket.

The workshop takes place in Flukes - the stunning retro-inspired upstairs space at Big Penny.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the joy of music and community. See you there!

This workshop is organised by Mbilla Arts in partnership with Big Penny CIC.
