Singing workshop with Senegalese Chanting Master Batch Gueye.
In this workshop we will sing the spiritual songs of the Senegalese Baye Fall people and traditional songs of the leader of the Baye Fall. Batch Gueye leads us to connect to our voice, to our heart and what the people need around us. In this way, singing is a form of prayer, teaching us to be kind and understanding. Open to everyone, we will harmonise, learn about our voices and feel what is inside of us.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
