Captivating Sound Of Congolese Drums
Forget the backbeat. The power of Congolese Drum Kit Rhythms will provide lifelong access to a collection of timeless beats allowing you to direct the dancefloor with ease.
This course begins with Congo’s favourite household rhythms; Cavacha, Sebene and Zouk then transports you deep into the traditional village grooves of Zebola, Mutuashi, Kintweni, Agwaya and finally steps accross the border to Cameroon to study Bikutsi.
You won’t just learn how to replicate a drum kit rhythm verbatim but will understand how to develop an authentic African feel and confidently work with an ensemble.
Meet Your Teacher
Felix began his pro career with a group called Flash Musica, a kind of informal academy for rising Congolese stars. He was spotted by the legendary singer and bandleader Kofi Olomide, whose outfit featured some of the country’s leading virtuosos.
His musical education continued in the company of one of Congo’s greatest ever drummers, Dju Dju She (from the group Victoria Eleison). Felix re-located from Congo to Cameroon, absorbing new styles and techniques all the way, and finally settled in the UK. From here, he’s travelled across Europe, Asia and Australia in the company of some of his country’s top musicians including Kanda Bongo Man.
Now he’s resident in Liverpool, completed a degree in Popular Music and Production, and focussed on bringing his professional skills and passion for his craft to teaching and training.
