Solkattu, Groove & Exercises
 A workshop of Tamburello& Frame Drums for beginners, intermediate
or advanced by Paolo Cimmino
Percussion is communicated orally by the use of onomatopoeic or sound syllables
witch are used to form phrases, rhythmic combinations and compositions. In the
workshop they are adapted to the suite, the needs of a group and for people from
all backgrounds.
