Sabar drumming originated in

Senegal, West Africa and is a closely guarded tradition that has been passed down through generations within drumming families. It is a key part of Senegalese culture and derived from the spoken word. Centuries ago drummers would use the drums to send messages by rhythmic representations. Sabar is now used as a form of celebration and entertainment at events like baptisms, weddings, birthdays, political meetings, wrestling and festivals. There are nine different types of drum which vary in size and shape, all producing different sounds and played with a sick and a hand. Each drum plays a different part which are played together to create complex polyrhythms. Sabar has spread worldwide and there is a network of Sabar drummers and teachers, including Modou, who travel to the United Kingdom giving workshops and performances. Modou has been travelling to England to teach Sabar Drumming for over Fifteen years and is a very experienced teacher offering classes for all levels of experience, either one to one or in groups. Modou Diouf is an expert Sabar drummer who has been playing his whole life. Learn Sabar Drumming with Modou and we promise you'll be smiling throughout.
