Des enfants jouant du djembé et une fille qui danse

Akwaba Menike

Every week, percussionist Robert Bodja comes to share his music and his vitality. The djembe workshops he supervises are an opportunity for participants to learn to play an instrument that immediately gives positive feedback, as it does not produce false notes.

The project

From January to May, Robert Bodja was at the Red Cross reception centre in Dudelange: an opportunity for the refugee children to forget their daily worries and refocus on themselves. These children were able to perform in concert at an Up Foundation conference on April 19.

The djembe workshops are an opportunity for participants to learn to play an instrument that immediately gives positive feedback, as it does not produce false notes.

Given the success of the workshops and requests to take part in other events, such as a jam session at the Vewa on July 22 or the Fête des cultures in Dudelange on the weekend of October 30, the workshops will continue every Friday at 6pm.
