Dagbe cultural center

We spent one week of intense drumming and dancing at the cultural center. The center was in the far east of Ghana right on the border of Togo. Since we were the only students there we each had 5 instructors for the 2 hour afternoon drumming session. In the morning we had a brutal 2 hour dance lesson.

This was our drumming and dancing class.

These were just some of the drums that the cultural center had.

Our main instructor Mensah was a really good teacher.

Every evening we went to the "bar" which was exactly the same as the classroom. This is my mom and Mary, one of the instructors. 

We spent lots of time with our friend Kofi Jackson. He was also an instructor but he mostly just hung out with guests. He doesn't look like it, but he is 17.
