African Drumming

On Tuesday the 16th of November
Koffie (pronounced Ko-fee) came to our school to teach us about African drumming.  


'What is African Drumming?

An African drum is called a Djembe drum.

                     

                                
Some of us got to go up on stage but others didn't (which was about 90 percent of the school). The people that got to go on stage each got given a drum and had a go at drumming to the song.

We were taught a song by Koffie called MOBAKO NI WA FIE it goes like.


AWONYE DEDELE MOBAKO NI WA FIE

EEII MOBAKO NI WA FIE

MOBAKO NI WA FIE 
(clap clap) 

MOBAKO NI WA FIE 
(clap clap)

MOBAKO NI WA FIE OOO

EEII MOBAKO NI WA FIE 
(clap clap).

 That was a West African song.
