Covent Garden, WC2H 9BA
London

7pm prompt

This will be the last Sufi frame-drum workshop offered by Silk Roads for the year – just in time to raise the temperature for these cold dark days.

Check the video to this Sufi frame-drum workshop where aside from one person none of the participants had ever played the frame-drum before.

We will be learning the instruments with their rhythms and chants as quickly as possibly so that we can practice a Sufi ‘dhikr’ meditation with the daf frame-drums.

Please arrive promptly as the doors close at 7.15pm. (You can ring 07821 182696 to be let in if you’re late)

£10 on the door
