Hooked On Drums: The Hooked on Drums Studio: A Year in Pictures
http://hookedondrums.blogspot.com/2009/03/hooked-on-drums-studio-year-in-pictures.html
Friday, March 13, 2009. The Hooked on Drums Studio: A Year in Pictures. It's been an exciting year in the new studio space at Kennicott Park. It's only when you sit down to record the year in pictures that you realize just how much has happened in that space- it's hard to know where to begin. Maybe the best place is where you left off: with the toddlers and the Nankouma Drum Core. But they also know it's a great place for a pillow fight! Have the capacity to absorb the rhythms- what they often don't.

Hooked On Drums: Konatekounda & Hamana Tolon: Billy Nankouma Konate Concert in Loshausen, Germany, August 2006

Thursday, December 20, 2007. Konatekounda and Hamana Tolon: Billy Nankouma Konate Concert in Loshausen, Germany, August 2006. In the summer of 2006, I traveled to Germany and Austria to visit old friends (and some new ones). To my delight, I discovered that Billy Nankouma Konate and other drummers whom I've known since they were knee-high were offering a concert in the remote village of Loshausen just before I was scheduled to return to Chicago. Where in the world is Loshausen, you say? See what I mean?

Hooked On Drums: Famoudou Konate's Home in Guinea: Where it all began
http://hookedondrums.blogspot.com/2007/12/famoudou-konates-home-in-guinea-where.html
Thursday, December 20, 2007. Famoudou Konate's Home in Guinea: Where it all began. The work of Hooked on Drums began here, at Famoudou Konate's home in Guinea, in 1988, when I traveled to Africa for the first time:. These images from those early years- 1988/89, the first year Konate hosted European students at his home in Simbaya, and 1990/91, the year recordings were made for the now classic Konate CD: Rhythmen der Malinke- are too precious for the slideshow format. Nanyuma in the kitchen, 1988. Here ar...

Sunday, January 20, 2008. Hooked on Drums has a New Home! Anyone who's ever been to the "Hobbithole" will have no problem understanding that Hooked on Drums has been in need of a new home- for a long time. Twenty years of stuff from Africa- instruments, fabrics, photos, miscellaneous artifacts- has been collecting dust in our garage and the nooks and crannies of our coachhouse in Woodlawn for the past decade or so. Here's what it looks like now:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hooked on Drums has a New Home!
