I am Gediminas and have been playing all my life. Music and drums are like oxygen for me, filling every day with incredible colours, and West African culture has become the treasures I have discovered that have changed my life into something brighter than I could have ever imagined.
Did you know that West African music is still taught in the authentic way - the teacher transmits the knowledge to the student only live, without any notebooks?
I am blessed to have the opportunity to learn from some of the best masters in the world today - Babara Bangoura, petit Adama Diarra, Mousse Drame, Sidiki Dembele, Harouna Dembele, Famoudou Konate, Billy Konate - and I'm very happy to be able to share the miracle of African music in my home country. One of the greatest gifts that comes through music is meeting people who dare to explore a different and globe-trotting language - the language of music.
