BeatRoot play the Manding rhythms of West Africa

 

BeatRoot play traditional Manding rhythms from West Africa. We play djembe, doundounba, sangbang and kenkene drums.

West African drumming is an accessible, enjoyable, stress-reducing and energising group activity that can improve your musical skills and bring participants an understanding of the richness of African culture.

We meet every other Saturday at the Cupar Djembe Workshop at the YMCA, Bonnygate, Cupar, Fife

New members to the workshop are always welcome, and thanks to Awards for All funding we have spare djembes for beginners.

BeatRoot are happy to play at community arts events throughout Fife. Click on Contact Us to get in touch

 
  

Our next gig...

See our What's On page for forthcoming performances.  So far this summer we have gigs lined up at Dundee, Townhill, Blebo Craigs, Oakley, Springfield, and not forgetting our humble offering on stage to the great and the good at the African Drum Village at Glen Isla.

Please note that our regular fortnightly practice sessions at Cupar YMCA will be interrupted by some of the gigs which fall on a Saturday. Phone or email for the next 'everyone welcome' session.
