We had a great time earlier this year on our regular trip to Guinea, and the time has come to go again. We now have six traditional roundhouses for guests, plus a larger house which can accommodate groups or families. all accommodation nestles in our compound amongst the avocado, mango and papaya trees we planted. The familiar circle of our friends and family will be there, and our fantastic drum teacher, Fauzi, who has recovered from his illness now, will be teaching as usual. We have a new dance teacher, and for anyone interested in balafon, we have a teacher for you. So again, fabulous sunshine, days and nights of music and dance, and lots of
yummy African food - something for the soul and the stomach! |
