A celebration of rhythm, energy, and West African joie de vivre
On May 9, 2026, the vhs Fürth transforms into a pulsating space full of groove, body language, and shared energy. African Drumming brings beginners and the curious directly into the world of Agbadja and Tomba from Benin / West Africa - completely without prior knowledge.
The first beat goes straight to the soul
When djembe, bass drums, and percussion instruments come together, it becomes more than just an exercise situation; it's a genuine concert experience in a small format. The workshop focuses on the interplay of rhythm, breathing, and movement. From this emerges the live atmosphere that makes African drumming culture so immediate and captivating.
Rhythm meets community
The rhythms of Agbadja and Tomba bear the signature of a tradition in which music does not exist alongside life but is right in the middle of it. The body becomes the instrument, the togetherness becomes orchestration, and the space becomes a resonating body. Those who participate will experience how individual beats transform into a collective pulse.
Designed for beginners, open to the senses
The event is explicitly aimed at people without prior experience. This lowers the barrier and enhances the spontaneous audience mood, as everyone can immediately join the rhythm. It is this blend of lightness, concentration, and collective movement that shapes the experience at vhs Fürth.
A venue with good accessibility
The vhs Fürth at Hirschenstraße 27/29 is centrally located in Fürth. According to the city of Fürth, the building is accessible without barriers through the courtyard, there is an elevator, and disabled parking is available for participants.
