Debo Dabi Kanyinsola(DDK) invites you to visit Nigeria, an ancient culture that thrives in modern cities, a world that moves easily between talking drums and the internet.
Dabi has given workshops on Yoruba traditional dance and drumming styles
to audiences in the US,Canada, Europe and Asia during the past 10 years.
While he is known for his artistic moves that offer a modernist gloss on
traditional themes, he was born, brought up amidst the traditional drums
and dances practiced from his roots,Iseyin in Western Nigeria. His fame
as a multi-percussionist,singer,dancer and teacher has taken him all over
the globe. Now, he invites you to visit him in Nigeria and immerse yourself
in African tradition.
Dabi found that the traditional methods of drumming and dancing that had been his original inspiration were fading in Nigeria. He used his international success to launch a cultural revival, building cultural centers where young Nigerians master traditional dances. You can now visit the world of the Yoruba, to explore a culture that has flourished in Western Nigeria for well over 1000 years.�
Whether you are a specialist in the arts, an enthusiast of African music or merely interested in a brief immersion in a new culture, Dabi offers the opportunity to see Nigeria with fresh eyes. You stay at guest houses at his homes in Lagos and Iseyin . You travel through Nigeria in air conditioned cars and buses with your guides and teachers. You spend your days visiting traditional markets, or studying the techniques used by the Yoruba gangan and sakara drummers.
