Experience Rhythm through West African Drumming

Mansfield, Ohio, United States

2007-05-05 until 2007-05-06


Sogbety's life story has the ingredients of which movies are made. He was born in the tiny African village of Toufinga in the NW region of Cote d' Ivoire in West Africa. His grandfather was the chief and medicine man of the village. There, Sogbety learned to play the djembe drum and eventually made his way to Abidjan,one of the large cities in his country where his playing was observed and he was offered the opportunity to come to the United States to perform. If he had stayed in the village, he would have trained all his life to eventually become the medicine man.
