Dumbek Workshop with Raquy Danziger

Fabric of Life is proud to offer an exciting workshop for darbuka (dumbek) players with Raquy Danziger, one of the world’s premier middle-eastern drummers. She is a musician of stunning virtuosity who has performed and taught all over the world. Raquy also is a composer who has released 15 albums of original music, a teacher with more than 2,000 students enrolled in her online classes, and she has published several darbuka methods.

The October workshop is designed for people who have some experience playing the dumbek, who can make the dum and tek sounds and have played one or two basic middle-eastern rhythms. If you need a drum, one will be provided. Raquy will focus on making sure you know how to get the best sound out of your drum and teach various ways of creating middle eastern rhythms on the drum; there will be lots of individual attention.

Choose from Saturday only or a full weekend with Raquy. Both options include attendance at an intimate one-hour concert where Raquy will show off her fabulous musicianship. In addition to playing darbuka, she will perform on the Kemenche, a stringed instrument from Central Asia.
