African drumming has been a powerful communications tool for centuries. Now Drum Cafe brings this distinctive concept to your event, via an exciting team of World musicians and experienced facilitators.
This unique, hands-on approach (literally) to team building, learning, and motivation that, simply put, draws the parallels between what it takes to make music and how that relates to working together in an organization to achieve a unified goal!
Rhythm is within all of us as a basic universal language that everyone understands, allowing dialogue among us at the most basic creative level.
The process of creating music, like business, must be understood by everyone to succeed. Nothing brings to life the key elements of effective communication and teamwork, as does a group of people attempting to create music together. Whether they know each other or not, whether they think they 'have rhythm' or not, the most essential elements of communication and teamwork are emphasized and drawn out during our programs.
Each member recognizes his/her own importance by participating in ‘making the music’. It allows them find that their individual contribution that will make a marked difference to the success of the whole group. In this way, everyone is valued for his or her diversity and uniqueness.
The effect of the drumming, among other things, is a synchronization of energy, unity, and common vision/purpose. When you hear the rhythm of a group drumming and contribute your own beat, you are listening and playing….receptive and creative at the same time.
The Drum Cafe has done more than 30,000 events in 28 countries over the past 17 years. Our message has never been louder – or clearer. Businesses wishing to strike the right note can get closer to their goals with inspiration, motivation and a well-timed boost of harmony.
