Learn Authentic Djembe Drumming in Pune

This is a look at our Kalyani Nagar class learning 'Kassa', a Malinke rhythm from North East Guinea played to celebrate a good harvest. We focus on both the rhythm and its cultural significance.

A glimpse into our Sunday evening class at Artsphere. You can see the focus and the smiles as students lock into the groove together. This is what building a rhythm community looks like.

Our new Djembe classes in Baner are for everyone, from absolute beginners to those with some experience. We offer monthly packages and walk-in options to fit your schedule.

This is a typical class setup at our Kalyani Nagar studio. I guide students through the hand techniques and vocal cues needed to play traditional West African rhythms together as an ensemble.

I'm excited to announce our classes in Baner. We offer flexible packages so you can learn at your own pace, whether your goal is recreation or professional certification in Djembe.

We spent a session learning 'Karinka', a special rhythm my Guru, Mamady Keïta, created for his own master. This video shows a beginner version, connecting us to a deep lineage of drummers.

To celebrate the launch of our Baner classes, we're hosting a free community drum circle. It's a great way to experience the vibe of Taal Inc. before you sign up for our traditional Djembe lessons.

In this workshop, we learned 'Kakilambe', a sacred rhythm of the Baga people from West Guinea. The students are not just playing; they're learning the history of the holy mask associated with the beat.

This is an accompaniment we call 'Passport' because it fits with so many different West African rhythms. Mastering these foundational patterns is key to becoming a versatile Djembe player.
