MUS 1162 - West African Drumming Culture

Credits: 4
This course focuses on the Griot Cultures of West Africa and the associated drumming techniques of the West African Djembe. As students learn to play the Djembe through oral tradition, they will learn about Griots and Griot culture through the stories that accompany the drumming. The music will culminate in an end of term performance. The cultural content will conclude with a paper including both research and reflection.
McDaniel Plan: Creative Expression; International Nonwestern
