hey there -

I haven't been to the Whole Earth Festival in a while, but I remember there was always a great drum-n-dance scene there. Now I'm involved with Camp Fareta, a West African drum and dance camp happening July 8-15 in central California (an hour east of Fresno in the southern Sierras) and I'm wondering how to get the word out in Davis. Does anyone know who's teaching African drum or dance there, or the best drum shop or health food store for posting flyers? It's a great event, and I want to make sure those who might be interested can find out about it.

Youssouf Koumbassa is the "host" and main dance teacher, and there's lots of information on his website, westafricandance.com. Check it out and spread the word!

thanks and be well -
