African Drumming Team Building: The Djembe Workshop

In Paris, expect to pay €2,290 excl. VAT for 15 participants, €2,390 excl. VAT for 30, €4,390 excl. VAT for 100, and €7,090 excl. VAT for 200, which works out to €153, €80, €44, and €35 per person respectively. These amounts are exclusive of VAT and cover the entire group.

The 1 to 10 participant bracket has no listed price, as do group sizes over 200, even though the page advertises up to 500: these cases require a custom quote. Test yours in the configurator, or compare with Batucada.

The workshop can be scheduled at the start or end of a seminar, lasting from 30 minutes to 1h30. The short session can re-energise a group between plenary sessions, while the longer session allows time to build multi-part polyrhythms.

It can accompany a corporate seminar, a conference, or an integration day, whether indoors or outdoors. Also, see our corporate events.

A nearby power outlet and a stage for the musicians are sufficient; the djembes are brought and distributed. The flow follows four stages: introduction to the instruments and basic drumming techniques, learning polyrythms, cohesion exercises, and finally, a concluding piece.

Noise level is a point to consider: an isolated space or the outdoors is preferable. Any specific constraints can be handled on a bespoke basis.

The page advertises for 10 to 500 participants, with no musical prerequisites: the rhythms are learned through imitation and repetition. Everyone finds their place in the overall tempo.

The workshop is suitable for mixed teams and groups who don't know each other, as non-verbal communication replaces spoken words. For a more urban feel than traditional, consider Urban Drums.
