Discover the rhythm of your soul through African drumming with Akwaaba! You’ll have the opportunity to play traditional African drums with your community and help bring a vibrant and energetic atmosphere to the festival. No prior drumming or musical experience is required and our workshops are open to people of all ages and abilities.
Akwaaba (“uh-kwaa-buh”)…meaning “welcome” in the Akan language from Ghana, Akwaaba’s vision is to use traditional African drumming and music as a tool to promote harmony and cultural understanding within the West Australian community.
Established back in 1996 by Kofi (Paul) Osei, Akwaaba has been entertaining a wide variety of audiences for over 25 years with energetic, powerful and interactive performances, drum circles and workshops. Our use of traditional African hand drums and other percussion instruments bring alive the rhythms of Africa.
