Learn African Drumming in Africa

This is the second step of my scheme. I hope to get a scholarhip to study drum and dance in Africa (probably in Ghana or Senegal). This will be much easier to accomplish if I am enrolled in a graduate program and can study abroad.

After taking a short adult school course in african drumming I found I really enjoyed it. While I can continue my learning here in NYC as there are many drum circles and classes, i would love to go the source to experience african drumming in context. I am considering The Gambia and Senegal.
