Babarinde "Baba" Williams
Drummer and multi-instrumentalist, Babarinde "Baba" Williams is the founder and CEO of Drums et al. He was born in the coastal city of Ebute-Metta (literally translated to "Three shores"), one of the satellite cities that make up the mega city of Lagos; Africa’s equivalent of New York City. He was recognized as a drumming prodigy at a very tender age and started performing with local, recreational, amateur, and semi-professional group in his neighbourhood.
Drums et al reveals the mysteries of traditional African drumming and rhythms in an interactive session. This is a team building workshop designed as a continuation of the leadership and character-building Ubuntu assembly presentation. It is a series of workshops with different groups of classes, usually a maximum of 60 at a time.
The venue is usually an open space like the gym or library and time per session is 60 minutes. The facilitator teaches hand drumming, African chants (antiphonal calls and responses), and a short tutorial on origins of drums and drumming in Africa.
