What you get

Not a holiday.
A study tour.

01

Authentic tuition

Traditional West African instruments and dance, taught properly, at the pace of someone learning a craft rather than sampling one. Open to all levels.

02

Masters, live

Performances from players at the top of the tradition. This is the reference point you cannot get from a class in Sydney.

03

Guinean life

You stay as Sibo's guest in his home country. The culture around the music is half of what you come back with.
