This workshop offers participants a chance to discover the characteristics of various traditional West African musical instruments, such as the kora and the djembe, from a Guinean perspective. It provides a space for them to resonate with the sounds and express them, focusing on dialogue with the musician, rhythmic awareness, play, body posture, and various techniques and expressions. Additionally, it is an experience in letting go, embracing the body, and communicating through it. Indeed, Aly Keita uses exercises in singing, dancing, and physical coordination to develop rhythmic awareness, encouraging participants to feel and express rhythm and melodies in their bodies.
