In this 3-week intensive cultural immersion course, students will be
introduced to a wide range of topics related to African culture,
philosophy, and daily life. Led by UMass adjunct faculty member and
ThisWorldMusic Founder Jeremy Cohen, the group will live for 2 weeks
in the Dagbe Center's clean, comfortable, dormitory-style
accommodations, receiving hands-on training from indigenous artists in
drumming, dancing, singing and visual arts. Dagbe's rigorous
instruction and authentic natural surroundings make for an experience
unlike any other.
