Miami drums

Last Sunday, Mohamed was able to give me some of his time after teaching a dance workshop on Traditional African dance at the African heritage center for the South Florida dance collective.

I’m going to be taking some video at the South Florida African Dance Collective so if you happen to go, you can stop by to say hello.
